Harper thinks the arts
\nare practised by rich farts
\nwho drive in limousines
\nto galas most obscene.<\/p>\n
He doesn’t realize
\nthe arts are little guys
\nand girls of every station
\nwho work across this nation<\/p>\n
at jobs for minimum wage
\nto put their art on stage.
\nThey practice, draft, revise,
\ncompose, rehearse, devise,<\/p>\n
and live a life devoid
\nof things the rich enjoy
\njust so they can say
\n“I’m better at this today.”<\/p>\n
Know these are the ones you’ve stunned
\nby cutting off arts funds:
\nand you should really note
\nwe are cutting off your vote<\/p>\n
not just because you’ve screwed us\u2014
\nfor that is merely human\u2014
\nscrew us and you screw our country
\nand for that we are unforgiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
