A poem, by Fọlábòmí Àmọ̀ó.
Inspired by the famous Latin quote by Hippocrates.
‘Ars Longa, Vita Brevis’ — ‘Art is Long, Life is short…’
Art is long,
Life is short.
A man can be killed,
But his idea never forgot.
A man can cease to exist,
But his work lives on.
At any moment,
Our time may come.
What would we be remembered for?
Art can be preserved.
A text, backed up.
But not the brain it came from.
Don’t be distracted,
Life is short.
Leave your mark.
Let your art do the talk
