WORK - A Note on Quality

i Anyway, everyone knows what quality is
Even though they daren’t offer a definition ~
They have lost the courage.
ii Most don’t care about this.
Some care, but don’t want to say
Because they’re embarrassed or
Because it’s not the done thing or
Because it implies that the maker is also shit,
Etc etc.
iii Mostly quality is forgotten
Drowned in a river of shit
For too much stuff is made ~
Too much shit stuff
iv Comparatively, shit is rare in the Universe,
Yet it’s everywhere. Killing everything.
v Anyway,
Quality is an expression of the divine ~
A measure of soulfulness ~
Detectable in any kind of work,
Or its products.
vi And the humans who are meant to be
Especially good at being soulful
Are artists.
vii Artists are, by definition, purveyors of quality.
viii And some indeed live up to this, but most do not
They’re too busy selling their souls
And sucking corporate cock
To notice the shit they make
And the way it drowns all the good things.
