One Step Out of Art

I am continually amazed at how much time and energy poets and artists give over to politics. I've seen a few of them slip out to the ball game. I hear the arguments coming my way, but the arguments do not disprove the point. All politics leads, sooner or later, to a man standing somewhere with a gun. Power and control, greed, religion, etc.

One step out of art in the direction of politics and the art is gone.

If you are not writing or painting, (or being creative your way) you are not doing anything.
