Toni Morrison
Has claimed all good art
Is political.
Apolitical
Art is never good,
It follows. But that’s not good
Enough. Apolitical
Art, she suggests, can’t exist,
Because those who strive
To be apolitical
Are political
By showing they love
The status quo. Art trying
To be apolitical
Therefore can be good,
But it’s evil? I recall
When I was a child
Being told all truth
Was God’s truth. A doubt
Only came from the devil.
That it was a doubt was proof.
