Sharee Anne Gorman
(annienomad-cyberpoet)
This is a blog/poem written after the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman about the loss of artistic fulfillment in our current atmosphere of massive entertainment/distraction…and its displacement of thoughtful art.
About
it’s not about the bulge in his pants
or, the rose beneath her lace
it’s not about the property lines
or, lovers losing face
it’s not about who’s right or wrong
or, who will win the case
it’s about the roles we play
and the lies we’re told
that keep us in our place
those who print the money
rule by phones without a trace…
while poets
vainly soliloquize
on the lack of human grace…
