Loved this article and your poem, great writing. ----- Sometimes I think we give too much credit to the generations of the past, in the sense that because they're not here to show us their flaws we act like they wouldn't be following the same patterns of conformity enforcement or controlling what art should be in their respective generations, demonizing art that went against the status-quo of those times. So I guess the only timeless thing we should strive for in art is what we feel the objective truth is, and even then what we think we have found to be the objective truth, may not be it at all, but we have to take the risk!
Beautiful.
