Creating "Dark Ages"

Throughout the ages, Art has taken a hit at critical junctures. Yet, it has survived,
ever in the heart.

Dark Ages

Miró, Matisse,

Mapplethorpe, Mona,

Madonna, Michelangelo,

Even that tiny Jesus in the jar of piddle.

Whichever once spoke to you,

Toppled, thrown down

Shattered, shredded.

A new despot has come,

Believe what he believes

Or join this refuse.

Choose now.

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free” 

Michelangelo 

“Creativity takes courage.” 

Henri Matisse 

“The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.”
