Dada ... Stir

Today’s word is “dada” ... dah-dah ... the style and techques of a group of artists, writers etc., of the early 20th century who exploited accidental and incongruous effect in their work and who programmatically challenged and established canons of art, thought, morality, etc. (dictionary.com)

Stir
Let us run amuck!
Let us live by our own choosings,
Every single thing is up for grabs,
There’s no way we’re losing.

The dada artists’ flame,
Burns now deep inside,
We disapprove of order,
So fling the doors out wide!

Throw out the baby and the bath,
All traditions too,
Nothing from the past is good,
We only love the new.
