Epilogue: Made for each other


I write and paint
They sign and sell,
and give me a cut
(I’m already cut all over)!
They toast and dine,
I eat and drink.
They perfume and fly,
I sweat and lurk.
They celebrate,
I survive...
Life goes by!

  6. In this age, the marketing guy wields more power than the artist. Sad but true.

  7. Saddest truth! Artworks are priceless, but the artist doesn't make a good money... It is the same in the case of agriculturists and other hard-workers like those at mines too! We argue with the roadside sellers shamelessly but don't even dare to do that at the malls! Very well expressed it, Amitji...
    TC! Keep smiling :)
