The poets, the visionaries, the shamans must come to the forefront and guide humanity.
In this day and age, art seems almost purposeless—anything could be "art".
Art has become a commodity to be hawked in the marketplace.
I feel like art has lost its sacredness.
Art has a power to affect consciousness.
Artists have a responsibility, as do all humans in these times, to create a better world.
Art needs to create a vision of goodness, truth, and beauty. A way out of darkness.
Art that fails at this isn't art in its true power. It's merely poor taste put on display.
We don't have time to dilly dally anymore. The wise must take the wheel and show the way.
The wayshowers have traditionally been the shamans, the artists, the poets, the bards, the wise men and women.
Now we follow the technocrats, the scientists, the oligarchs, the influencers, and the politicians.
Where are the wise leaders?
Where is the vision?
It's time for a renaissance.
