BEING SUSTAINABLE

Those dedicated to whats called art

stir emotions through reflection,
touching unknown cavities of hearts,

ignite new flames in minds and souls,

forming roadmaps for the perception
of other ways to look at life and goals

They create awareness of existence

beyond brain or bodily experience,

trying to capture sustainable beauty

to foster more aspects of humanity

But modrn prophets of sustainability

refer only to the food we eat,
the fluids we drink, the air we breathe;

reducing us to a composition of meat,

denying that being human is poetry
