critics should create
to illustrate all lacking
within creative efforts
defining other minds
wonderous artistic world enriching
to uphold to uplift us all;
realizing
that an artistic goal
might
be catalyst chemical
urge compulsion accelerant
energetic reactions weeping;
precious pondered infusions
ash enthusiastic artistic implosions
created sight sense stimulus
snare art designed precipitate
ash blazing regeneration renewal
phoenix genius fertilizer fuel
pellets igniting body mind soul
blazing body burning into regenerated life
birth born bright renewal perceptions

While reading your poem, a quote by Mahatma Gandhi flickered in my mind: '' First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. '' Somehow, your poem goes in parallel with this quote.
