There is enough treachery, hatred,
violence,
absurdity in the average human
being
to supply any given army on any given
day.
AND the best at murder are those
WHO preach against it.
AND the best at hate are those
Who preach LOVE.
AND the best at War-finally-are those
Who preach PEACE.
Beware
THE Average Man
THE Average Woman
BEWARE their Love.
Their love is average, seeks
Average.
But their genius is in their hatred.
There is enough Genius in their
Hatred To kill you, to kill
anybody.
Not wanting solitude,
Not understanding solitude,
They will attemp to destroy
ANYTHING
That differs from their own.
Not being able
to create art,
They will not
understand art.
They will consider their failure
as Creators
Only as a failure
of the world.
Not being able to love fully
They will BELIEVE your love
incomplete.
AND THEN THEY WILL HATE YOU.
And their hatred will be Perfect
Like a shining diamond
Like a knife
Like a mountain
LIKE A TIGER
Like Hemlock
Their finest
ART....
So i know this isnt my poem, but i couldnt help but put it on the page because it is so relevant and true to life. The king is dead, long live the King---Mr. Bukowski.
