Doing it For...What?

Everyday, I walk around, seeing my

Favourite things being utterly trashed.

It's all for entertainment, so I'm told,

But I'm tired of all this fun being bashed.

Whether it's something we all know and love,

Or something put to incredible missuse,

Why are these people doing what they do?

Are they idiotic lovers, or do they want an ego boost?

This medium we call art, is just so

Loosely defined. Anyone can be a genius

With little effort, but only others can give

Them that title. Have they seen it?

Have they seen the artist's work?

Or has their perception been lost in the murk?

What's the point in doing something,

If you're not doing it for art?

You've got to be good, you've got to be fresh,

But most importantly, you need to do your part.
