I enjoyed this poem very much You might appreciate this (i am the strange hero of hunger-B.Childish) http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/singlePoem.do?poemId=14045 In a stark contrast to the sentiment expressed in your poem: I would also recommend Jean Gimpel's 'The Cult of Art: Against Art and Artists'. Its a very convincing argument and rant against Art. While I dont agree with much of its sentiment its incredibly well written.
