"In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it."
– Ernst Fischer

Beautiful poem man, I used to volunteer at a soup kitchen and would the see the homeless constantly. It's really terrible how society views them as degenerates when they're all victims of this cruel game of musical chairs. Your words encompass a great expression of the reality of it all.
