My succinct and cynical observation on awards and award season: "Lifetime Achievement Award"

Lifetime Achievement Award

 

the award for artistic expression

is to be disbursed in X equal payoffs

(to no one) devolving instead

to the artist’s corporate sponsor who takes

full credit for all intellectual properties

deposited, accrued, compounded in perpetuity

and no liability for personal, legal, or

fiduciary injuries redounding thereof

 

artistic merit being monetarily worthless

in and of itself

is left to the artist for sustenance

recompense for their innate inability

to shrewdly leverage tangible, salable assets

 

wise up kid, this is how the world works: don’t be so naive
