One Of Many Cursed Things

that proliferates in this world
is the idea of 'Art that pays for itself',
and pays the owner/artist quickly
-inviting them to make much more.
When work pays well, more often that not
good work declines into less creative work later.

The love of money is no better for art,
than it is for a positively good life,
Where such love makes one life better
it makes many other lives worse.
