When will we all be artists?

If the Arrow and the Target Never Meet

If the arrow
and the target
never meet,
the rocks will not be
turned to sand
leaves will not turn red
and paste themselves to wet
sidewalks
If the eye is not caught
things will not be repaired
justice will mean nothing
children will go hungry
hints will become dark irony
If the tiniest beam of light is ignored
all things will end
hollow talk, cruelty, and hypocrisy are
all that will remain
WHen will we all be artists?
