I've realized, while knowing it all along, why the poets and artists are the first to be "taken care of" in any revolution. We are the ones that will always remember. We are the ones that know from the beginning the ending, from the ending we know the beginning. Its not the historians who carry the memories, its the artists.
We remember what its like to be free. We know how to fly without ever leaving the ground. Artists are the ones that will be here in one way or another long after the rest of thought falls into despair. We may not be the happiest of people, but that is because we see the truth in things. The truth is more harsh then fantasy.
This is why the artists are always the first to go.
