Art Saves

Art saves the soul from dying Our lives are spent crying Tears of laughter Tears of pain And for what Why? What is the point of it all When a child can be robbed Of a life it never knew Life is harsh, this is true Find someone to hold your hand It’ll all be ok And in time we learn to forget And remember that Art saves the soul from dying In a child’s face There is beauty Transpose it to paint Before time steals all youth’s grace Help me escape Escape reality Escape sanity Escape to fantasy Art saves the soul But cannot stop the child from dying

Very true, but the world needs beauty and art and poetry, so the artists will continue with their art... and maybe they can shed light on the children who are dying. I love the poem!
