Illuminati

Many creative ambitions die

by the altars of making a living

Ambitions of those not prepared

for paying the sacrificial price

to the gatekeepers of blood

currencies, and gifted dreams

Gatekeepers, at whose blessings

many a charlatan thrives

parading yet obscured

in vivid transparent sight

-

Keepers of the way

and torchbearers\' spirits

thus decipher this indictment

on artistic consciousness
