The world is a canvas yet most of us just view the work of others and stay passive creators becoming wells of unlived life. Lets draw from our reservoirs and water our imaginations

A sanctum of knowledge
so if i asked you where to find a doctor
or a dentist
or meat
or a mind altering substance
you could without google
but then if i asked you to point the way to the griots
or the custodians of contemporary or otherwise knowledge
or if i asked you the location of where your money is printed could you do so without research
and does this not equate to imbalance
if one can readily point and lead the way to vice but not virtue
^^ this got to me
where is our prioritization
and this is the imbalance
so we recount these logos but not even the trees in our local park
so where do you find these well of autonomous knowledge
people outside of
boxes
and ditches
these philosophers and architects of lived futures
some would claim university but you would not have found malcolm x and buddha there
one could say the library
but i did a whole piece about the debacle at a certain library
of certain contemporary libraries
and libraries are genuinely seen as being devoid of conversation
and do you just interrupt one engrossed in days past and present re imagined
then i ask where would you find me
and then their other suggestions like events but like with these so called centres of intellectualism
it is not always the case like said concert
but what for those anti capitalists
being proposed their elixir is behind a door of capital
kind of defeats the point or will at best deter it
then lastly there are the bookstores
and there are the attempts to create havens of our own
