We are producing in a world of over production
We are taught to create like robotic monsters
It is the product, we call it the "work",
in reality it is the commodity that the art world
can make into a collector's fetish,
to sell you then to enslave you by
so that you keep to the same style
So you can be recognized and valued higher
but the people who end up with the money
are never the artist
it's the capitalist art market traders who cash in
but we keep up a self-preserving rhetoric
to convince ourselves that what we are making
is somehow important, somehow deserving
of attention, recognition, even fame and fortune
and the question I keep churning over
Is why?
