Goodbye Art

For the millions of rewards
And the credits;
All I deserve but don\'t own,

For the plays in my archive
And the poems
I create and read by myself,

For the time spent learning
And rehearsing
But still I can\'t be recruited,

To the broken souls healed
And fed by my ink,
I\'ve named \'talent\' a burden.
