Art rhymes. It rules all the time!

Everybody gets just one life to live,
And however we use it, it can really give.
But while we can't forsake what sustains that life,
Nor can we forsake what can get us through strife.


An example of this is any communication,
Which crosses the borders of all the world's nations.
And no kind goes deeper than the beating of your heart
Like the tangible creation that is any form of art.

Art may not be "real" per se, but it IS an expression,
And like things planned or common it still leaves an impression.
Especially since it's public and can't be ignored,
And that's still meaningful if somebody's bored.

But any artist can tell you about life in a cage,
Whether with a wall, a page, a screen or a stage.
If you dig deep and find something personal to gauge,
Everybody present will feel your rage.

That could have a cost,
Like feeling lost in a terrible frost.
But before chasing the mental Gingerbread Man becomes torture,
The tunnel light can help you grab him and say "Caught ya!"

That's just one reason why its appeal has never peaked,
Not even that of the tragedies of the Greeks.
And what ever its length, its themes or its flair,
It could even help you form a romantic pair.

Art is like food, in more ways than one.
We will always need it, and it comes from the Sun.
But just like for food we need teeth to bite,
Art needs an audience to stimulate and excite.

So whether or not I've shown artistic might,
Thank you all so much for reading this tonight.
