Those who paint pictures of our world
have as much skill as those who shape it.
The shadows of the moving swords
and all the Machiavellian intents
end rendered as the moving images
on our TV screens and in our novels.
Our entertainments becomes our mirrors
writ clear by the artist's skill.
The art that can be made from such shadow plays
reveals our endless technical skills
but do these artists reveal what is hidden
to awaken us
or merely to demonstrate
their dominance of their media?
