Thanks be to the critic

July 15, 2009 1:56 pm

Thanks be to the critic
Bring your precision
That well crafted word of deflation
That righteous eye of observation
Convict us of the sin
Of settling for the lesser thing

Thanks be to the critic
The one motivated rightly
Born of pure honesty
Tempered with humility
Defending the senses diligently

Thanks be to the critic
Friend of the populous
Scourge of the callous
Seeker of the righteous

Thanks be to the critic
Revealer of beauty to us
Mindless enjoyment your sacrifice
In a pursuit zealous
For art and culture beneficent
