Pursuit Of Art A Courageous Step

Is the pursuit of art a courageous step?
To give up security stability of mediocrity?
To risk all for success failure court poverty?

some artists believe they choose to create art
no art chooses us possesses us enslaves us...
nothing brave in choices foolish slaves we slaves
to art without choice must risk make to create

Does the great artist risk all for cause art?
The risk is to strive to create to enter the stage?
Genesis insanity tune a finely strung bow?

genius observes enthusiasm accomplishes
passion passion births profound glorious insights
impressive talents unmotivated are sterile
