fads are the result
of the human need
to bond
on commonalities...

most expression
riding the wave
of contemporary 
popularity
fades into oblivion..

but
the works that tap
into the flow
of that force
which weaves
through our souls
giving us glimpses
of other dimensions,
and gets attention
is what we call lasting

on the other hand,
99.44 percent
of those kinds of artists
are never recognized...

makes you wonder
what we've missed
