What does “decent art begs balance” in the movie Milk mean?
In the movie “Milk” (2008), Harvey Milk says the following: When San Francisco changed its voting rules, so that people could elect people from their own neighborhood so that the blacks could elect a African-American supervisor, and in Chinatown, they could elect a Chinese supervisor. And in the Castro we could choose between myself and Rick Stokes. But decent art begs balance, right? So, little district eight, two miles south of the Castro, still very much the same. Irish Catholic, conservative. And with just the right amount of poetry, they found themselves a handsome ex-cop.
My questions are:
1. What does “decent art begs balance” mean?
2. What does “with just the right amount of poetry” mean?
Thank you in advance for your help.
They are just figures of speech… I think?
