In the Arts we are equal

In the Arts we are equal

Talent neither favors the rich and poor

neither nationality

nor the color of one’s skin

Only cynical politics sets the barrier

by raising the standard of mediocrity

In the Arts we are equal

One’s gifts are ought to be nurtured

and shared

But modern reality makes it hard for artists

Either they change reality

or let reality change them

But in the Arts we are equal

The Muses don’t want your money, title

nor your social position

You can’t buy inspiration
