Everything is 100 Years Old
Jan Juránek
It is hard today
I should not say that
It is not fair - it is always hard
To create anything that is not
Repurposed, reusable and a hundred years old
For we possess no context to the art we consume
What is it
People smoking cigarettes in bars
Painters starving for color
Pagliacci dying for the joy of others
No
People like themselves too much
Focus is not on innovating
But on newly presenting that
Which was already here a hundred years ago
Society now
Is not people being
It is people craving
A familiar feeling
What we did
When we did it
Whom we did it with
But it is not there
It is a romantic fantasy
It is not real and never was
It is just ideas that are a hundred years old
In shiny packaging
Because capitalism is still a thing
