Wordsmith

Ayesha Perveen

Is he a narrator?
Or a wordsmith?
Creating out of an intermix
Of reality and imagination
In a globalized world
Is that art a commodity?
And artist a prodigy
Of capitalism?
Hankering after publicity
Through expansionism
Aghast of mortality
And anonymity
Art becomes simulation
In his hyperreal world
Proliferated to be merchandised
Appropriated to be exploited
Jugglery performed
To blindfold masses
Creating ideologies
Bartered for exchange
For fame and wealth
Best exploited
For defaming the competitor
For reframing success
Through standardization
Still dig his art
You may find
Some components of creativity
Behind all the artistry
You fail to find it?
Try exploring the repression
That caused hawked expression
Is it our postmodern world?
That has set objectives
Too material
To bury the ethereal
Within and without
Subduing the sublime
In the global paradigm
