What Is Art?

Fleeting, and fast,
Art is a bang
He said.
It lasts a moment before withering away.

No, art is eternal,
It never leaves,
Never dies,
Forever by your side.

But whose right?
I sit, I wonder.
They ask what I think,
Ask to interfere.

I think for a moment,
And look at the guys,
So ignorant and blind,
Stubborn, so wrong, so right.

Art is what you make it.
Art is a bang, art is eternal.
There's no right answer, can't you see?
It's a choice, not a fact.

They ponder for a moment, and turn away
Back to each other's curious faces,
Bang! Eternal! They fight.
Boys, boys, will they ever learn?
