The Thing with Critics


Some artists aren’t painting cuz they’ve ran out of paint, or a blank canvas.

Some are merely lazy, and the rest are scared of what critics will say.

The irony is that: without a doer, a critic is useless.

In spite of that, the very same people who give sense to a critic’s being, are terrified of critics. Talk about an employer that’s scared of her employee!

The only deed a critic does, is talking about someone else’s deed, the done.

I mean, what is a soccer commentator without a soccer match? … Noise.

Every time a doer does, a critic is blessed with a job opportunity. That is to say, a doer is to a critic, what a company looking for an employee, is to an unemployed suitable candidate.

By writing this writing, I did. Ipso facto, I created employment for a critic.

(Go ahead, critic this writing. Tell the world what you think of what I think of you.)
