Time Testing Awaking Awareness Possibilities Poem by Terence George Craddock

time tests all opinions viewpoints
it is better to create than destroy
to think reason rather than react
in blind ignorance; critics should create;

superior artistic possibilities,
above failings they percieve
within the achievements of others,
before dissecting compositions of others;

produce differing perspectives to illustrate
all lacking within creative efforts of other minds,
to uplift us all, realizing that an artistic goal might;

be to make us think, not to entertain, not to write
perfection, but merely to make us aware and think;
thus in thinking in changing us; changing the world.
