silencing the critics

is easy  
just show them the mirror  
let them see  
where they truly stand  

 
critiquing a piece of art  
is taking stabs at the shadow  
that is cast  
relative to an angle
[and time, in their life]
that they  
are standing at  
 
staying at the feet  
of the statue of colossus  
at midday  
claiming it ain't colossus  
'cause it only casts a tiny shadow  
not proportional to its size  
 
tell me whats wrong?  
what does that say  
about the self proclaimed art critic?  
 
any art  
is an ocean  
of learning  
just when you thought  
you knew it all  
and start believing  
you can look down  
tear apart  
someone else's art  
 
mate, go look at self  
in the multiple mirrors you own  
you stand alone  
as you always have  
and will be  
.  
 
art
is beyond  
you
