Back to the Well
Capitalism drains creativity,
squeezing what was once fresh,
milking the familiar
for one more sequel,
one more remake,
one more safe return.
New ideas don’t fail,
they’re buried —
judged too risky
before they’re tested,
too different
before they’re understood.
The genres that dominate now
were once uncertain,
given time to grow
before they were packaged,
sold,
repeated.
Art isn’t just a product.
It needs risk,
not guaranteed return.
Support creation,
or keep going
back to the well.
