There’s a certain kind of person
That looks at a Picasso and thinks
‘My 6yr old could do better than that’
These are the same people
That look at a poem and complain
If they don’t rhyme
These are the same people
Who when they find out you’re in a band
Ask “Do you play covers or originals”
These words are not for them
There are people who get aggressive
When you acknowledge global warming
And people who hate you
For reading philosophy
These are the people who find
‘The Old Man and The Sea’ boring
Or amusingly love it for the fishing
These words are not for them
There are people with swastikas
Tattooed on their skin
Or ‘Aussie Pride’ or tribals
There are straight up racists
Women bashers and worse
These words are not for them
It takes a little faith
To believe that somewhere
There are people
Who read these words
And feel moved or entertained
Hopefully they are the beautiful people
These words are for them
