there is nothing more depressing
than empathizing with people
who have been manipulated
by political mass media.

so much energy and technology
is used in manipulating people
into obedient mindless drones
instead of unleashing their genius.

it is beyond me
why is the human race
that has unlimited resources and capacity
making itself so stupid and impotent.

i tried to sell my nft poem about khet thi
and promised to donate the money
to his wife.

it depressed me
that this is the only nft i did not sell.
i thought it would sell quickly.

it was a test.
maybe sometimes i should not test things
and just enjoy the illusion.

kids pool empty for weeks
alone in a big house
no hidden candy

on facebook i saw
an image of a poem
which appeared like mine
but it was a poem
by ren hang.
i got scared
that he did the same thing
i wanted to do
but before me.
i felt angry at him
and sorry for my laziness.
but then i read that he died
and i felt safe again.
also i read few of his poems
and they seemed depressing
and my poems are not depressing.
so i won in my mind for now.
