Purse

Where some wisdom,

May come undone;

The chosen way,

Unchosened say.

As looks at Looks,

With undefining measure;

Calculated remittance,

Undone forever.



Yet forever defined,

Shall recognise the sorrow,

For here be the 'morrow,

To leave ever theft behind,

Then sapience shall await, remind.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

The need of artists for recognition and reward is sometimes used to their detriment by too willing entrepreneurs that readily exploit their gifts for a buck.( No reflection on this sight as Jason Bytes is himself a poet.)

Very choice bits of wisdom and life. Quite often we become merely prostitutes in art.
