BUSINESS MAN FIRST ARTIST SECOND. THE ARTIST IN ME WOULD PERFORM EVERYDAY EVERYWHERE UNTIL I FALL OUT ON STAGE OR GO TO SLEEP IN THE PARKING LOT. THE ARTIST AND FOR THE LOVE OF IT ALL WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY JUST FOR THE CHANCE TO BE HEARD. THE ARTIST DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BILLS, FOOD OR MATERIALS POSSESSION, BUT THE BUSINESS MAN BLOCKS HIM EVERY-TIME. THE LOGICAL SIDE OF MY BRAIN IS SAYING........HEY YOU ARE FALLING ASLEEP AS YOU SIT AT RED LIGHTS.........MAYBE THIS IS NOT THE BEST NIGHT FOR THE OPEN MIC...........THE BUSINESS MAN SAY WAIT A MINUTE YOU SAID THE BUDGET FOR THE WEEK FOR 50 BUCKS, AND YOU JUST SPENT 200 ON EQUIPMENT......HOLD ON BROTHER. DO YOU PLAN ON PAYING ANY BILLS. THE LOGICAL PART OF THE BRAIN IS CALCULATING EVERYTHING, BUT THE ARTIST IN ME DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF..........THE ARTIST JUST WANTS INSTANT GRATIFICATION AND TO DO WHAT HE LOVES..................THE ARTIST IS ME HAS FAITH AND MAKES THINGS HAPPEN THAT THE BUSINESS MAN WILL NEVER SEE. THE BUSINESS MAN WANTS TO PLAY IT SAFE, BUT WE CANNOT HATE HIM, SOMEONE HAS TO SIT DOWN WITH THE CLIENTS AND SHOW THEM THE PLAN AND FIGURE OUT THE NUMBERS. THE ARTIST WANTS TO BRING HIS ENTIRE COLLECTION OS POEMS, SONG AND PAINTING TO THE SHOW.......THE LOGICAL MIND STOPS HIM WITH A DOSE OF...LISTEN THAT IS NOT GOING TO FIT IN THE CAR. EVERYDAY THE ARTIST, THE BUSINESSMAN , AND THE LOGICAL MIND FIGHT, AND ON ANY DAY THEY CAN ALL WIN. ONLY UNTIL MY SON ASK DAD, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING. THEN THEY ALL FREEZE AND CANNOT EXPLAIN IT ALL.........FOR A SEC OR TWO..........THEN I DO MANY FORMS OF ART, MUSIC AND PERFORMANCES OF WORDS IN SCHOOL AND IN THE COMMUNITY.
