“ART” – by Tanya Davis.
I wondered what would be the worth of my words in the world
if i write them and then recite them are they worth being heard
just because i like them does that mean i should mic them
and see what might unfurl
i think of the significance of my opinions here
is it significant to be giving them does anybody care
just because i’m into this does that mean i should live like it
and really do i dare
art, art i want you
art you make it pretty hard not too
and my heart is trying hard here to follow you
but i can’t always tell if i ought to
so i pondered the point of my art in this life
if i make it will someone take it and think it’s genuine
will they be glad that i did ’cause they got something good out of it
will they leave me and be any more inspired
i question the outcome of the outpouring of myself
if i tell everyone my stories will this keep me healthy and well
will it give me purpose, to this world some sort of service
is it worth it, how can i tell
art, art…
Fellow Canadian, writer, poet and songstress Tanya Davis is pure genius in this. Canadian artist & filmmaker Andrea Dorfman teams with her… putting it all together.
Just watch it. Memorize it. Sing it. Spread it. Honour it…and support the artists that create such work to inspire us all.

My anthem
to vanquish doubt & vulnerability.
Thank you, Tanya and Andrea!
