If they acted bravely, some say they should cower
If they took part in politics and intrigues for power
They've learned that a nation ignores their pleading
Citizenship will be canceled while celebrity is fleeting
Only a country of petty fools would cast out the artists
A part of the corporate body that will soon be a carcass
An artist is in ways naive, unable to escape their beliefs
They have a gift, an expression of creation by hand
Society mocks or hates those creative talents
Who reject their desires and their demands
All the while as they are being moved
By what they hear, feel and see
