Art versus Wealth



Those who aren’t creative often fail to understand
That those who are artistic often live in a different land;
They seek for different things in  life, and mostly you will find
They rarely spend their days and nights with money on their mind.
Some people just want riches, and their never-ending aim
Is finding ways of gaining ever greater wealth and fame.
Not for them the hours alone, producing works of art,
Where money’s not the motive, rather something in the heart.
Who carry on because they must, and hope they’ll make a sale,
Knowing that success is rare, and they will often fail.
History is full of those who never gained success,
Despite their many years of toil, and some who’d never guess
They’d later be quite famous, though they wouldn’t live to know,
As after they had long been dead, their fame began to grow.
