Don’t believe these heartless thieves
And the lies they sell
There’s no money in art
If that’s true
Why do all they seek to control all we do
Starving artists only exist
Because they want more gold on their wrist

Surely a hand-woven or crafted bracelet would be worth more than gold.
Some artists are starving because they forgot to eat, though.... Great poem
