The Purpose of Art

What is the point of art?
in whatever frame that would take
surely it isn't just there to please
there's a lot more than that at stake

Questions need to be asked
about the state of our mind
what are we really thinking?
deep down inside is it all blind?

A real rethink is clearly required
about our position in all of this
searching our heart isn't enough
this opportunity we must not miss

Our minds need kept ever open
be aware all that's going on
stay alert to every opportunity
one slip and it'll be gone

So keep thinking ever continually
staying alive in mind and reason
then art will transform all the more
not dependent on the season

Progression with movement attack
not on defensive against the wall
be ahead always of the enemy
ever ready to answer the call
