The Death of Art


It's five in the morning
And the basement is flooded
All the art we ever had is gone
This is a tragedy for those who remember art
Like Van Gogh or Picasso
Or Hardy or Tolstoy
There is nothing left
The will bring up a generation
That will never know what it's like
To gaze mesmerized at a painting
Or to be lost in a book
And yet sometimes
We believe that artists aren't necessary
And ridicule them
Now close your eyes and when you open them
Art will have died
For the artists have spoken
No more
No more
No more

The Bilge Master
