the red krayola - prisoner's model lyrics

Loading...

i opened the newspaper
and there on my knee
was the president
of the academy

he was fondling an object
— a model frigate —
by an unnamed man —
a prison inmate

there were others there:
men of humanity
life’s quality’s leaders
ideology free
this was ‘an opening’
exhibition
it was the festival
of a new tradition;

a biennale of prison art
about which they could be
caring, sympathetic
in good society

and the art exhibition
was sponsored by b.p.,
held at the lush head+office
of the oil company

take heart you unnamed prisoner
transcend your pustulous grotto
learn the social lessons
repeat this motto:

thanks be to the academy
and praise to the oil company;
the heaven of liberality
is aesthetic penology

would you rather have
your hand cut off
or be appreciated
by a toff?
