The Artists Frustration - A Haraka Writers workshop poem

THE ARTIST'S FRUSTRATION

I am found in a lost generation
So, within I seek liberation
and find myself soul searching
all the while, truth is lurking
hoping to find a home in ignorant minds
I am the tie that binds
So I nurture my mentality
to whet the appetite of our dry reality
I sing songs of freedom
to redeem what's to come
when I find what I'm searching for
my soul salivates for more
and as I share my wealth w/ our Nation
somehow my thoughts get lost in translation

...that's the Artist's Frustration.
