There is no such thing As good art Or bad art. There’s just art. There is such thing as pure and impure art: Art can be tainted by derivation Or it can glow with self discovery and still, There is no such thing as bad art. You don’t have to be an artist either. We…

Ah that momentous day  For our class to leave the nest And take on the world! The sun was high And the smiles were wide, But not mine. I had no one beside me, And I tried to hide my stunted wings Built on years of glue and wax, for I knew I could not…

This is a story about a child With a heart too big for his slender frame And too gentle To last in this wicked world. This is a story about a boy Who was made very tired by loving, And waged a decades long war against  The pressures turning his heart to stone. This is…

A relic, An ivy strewn ark Pierces the sky. Who am I? This is all so strange. The more you truly look, The more you truly listen, The more you wonder… How have we gone so wrong? Society lost sight Of what’s most important  And sold it for convenience. How have we forgotten? Yet in…
