Beauty will save the world,
it is said.
Perhaps, and it may well have been meant to be so.
But, alas …
What if the beauty has been buried so deep under evil and badness, human self-centeredness,
that it has no chance?
In a strange parody of the carbon release scenario plaguing the planet, imagine that the beauty simply cannot be found and/or released.
What hope then?
We die in an ugly world.

If the critic is looking for another description of a flower,
s/he will not get that from me.
The world and the people do not need another description of a flower
(go outside and look for yourself: sometime, somewhere, something will be growing near you – whether moss or wild rosa).
Instead,
we need to think,
to explore the heart of darkness,
to treat each other with kindness.
We need enlightenment.

Succumb, the heart says,
to spontaneous desire;
delay future pain.

I see art,
and it’s beautiful.
The creation is truly a sensation!
But I understand what most men see,
on the wall,
in their souls,
and what they feel…
Base arousal.

Please, I want beauty,
in my visual range, perchance,
rise above horrors.
