you are a good writer
only when you know
that you will never
fully express yourself
with words,
that no one will ever know
who you are
and that you will never know
who anyone is.
modernists got carried away
and deleted all the knowledge
about how to live a good life.
this made us all
very anxious about our future.
we have doctors and internet
but no idea
what we will do the next year.
unabomber is
a great example
of how being good at math
really is not a guarantee
that one is good
at anything else
when i was young
i cared if a movie is good.
when i was older
i cared if a director is good.
when i was even older
i cared if movie as a concept is good.
i wonder what i will care about
when i am even more older.
yesterday all of my kids
loved schubert’s ave maria
and this made me feel
very confident about their future
because shubert’s ave maria
is not an easy music
for a kid to like.
it is also good that they like
metallica’s the call of ktulu.
if i do nothing all day
or i am an asshole all day
and i write at least one poem
and publish it online
then i believe
it was a good day
i was walking down the stairs
and i felt how my socks were soft
and i felt good
all people are good
but not all people
have information
they need to act good
i am happy that i lived
in a time when
ancient cultures still existed
even as illusions
quality of writing
has consistently improved
over millennia
but is till not
good enough
you can hate and love
you can be smart and stupid
you can be evil and good
you can have fun and be bored
and everything in between
all of it together
at the same nanosecond
all the time.
do not simplify existence
just because language is limited.
beauty is not good
intelligence is not good
knowledge is not good
wisdom is not good
fame is not good
strength is not good
power is not good
globalization was created
to help the world develop
using the universal language
of money.
but without
a good idea behind it
it just ended up funding
a lot of really bad ideas.
religion was removed
because it is not good for business
but nothing replaced it
we can never say:
people are good or bad.
we can always say:
ideas are good or bad.
in a world which is overly saturated
with extremely convincing content
you must develop your own thinking frameworks
in order to find your own version of good.
if you allow yourself to be passive,
your identity will dissolve.
write philosophy and poetry because it is easy
and even if it is shitty
you will still be stronger
and more independent, like me.
i would like that there are no
absolute values,
that everything is good.
but, unfortunately,
there is absolute good
and there is absolute bad.
global society decided
to not plan, prevent, and build
but to manufacture crises.
it is not a magical power
we can not control
but a precise design we made.
and this is a good thing
because it means
that we can redesign everything.
right or left
stick or carrot
good or bad
just because something is
metamodern
it does not mean it is any good
my gesture for che zara blomfield
is a reminder for me and everyone else
that all people benefit from making art,
that there is no bad or good art,
and that art should decentralize all human communication.
i hope this gesture works out!
recently i started
looking at clouds
from time to time.
and i have noticed
that belgrade has
good looking clouds.
it could be
an undiscovered
tourism feature.
everyone is welcome
to visit me in belgrade
to watch the local clouds.
call me at +38163268906.
i am 90 percent sure
that looking at the clouds
for 30 seconds a day
is a good thing
the winner of the world war two is the evil
and the loser is the good,
same as in every war before.
it was not a war between countries
as the history books
want us to believe.
it was a war between
the politicians – the evil,
and the common people – the good.
and the common people
got fucked over, like in every war,
while the psychopath politicians had fun.
the nature
of monopolists
is that
they do not want
to let someone else be good
but they must be
the only ones who are good
while they also
keep making money being bad
one of many reasons
why i am a poet
is to show
that any idiot
can be a poet.
this will hopefully
create more poets
and if we have more poets
we will have more of everything good.
every sane person knows
rio tinto are assholes who must be stopped
but protesters made a dangerous mistake:
they created the most powerful weapon
by closing up the entire city.
this weapon will be used by many others
for any cause, good or bad,
and it will always win.
now there is no turning back.
you never know
when you will write
a good poem
you write a lot of
really bad poems
and suddenly
there is a good one
some great poets never wrote a poem
some great poets write really bad poems
some great poems write really good poems
when bob dylan
won the nobel prize for literature
i was skeptical about his poetry
since i never read it.
i decided to check if it is any good
and i found one of his poems online
and read it
and it was a very very very very good poem.
a really good poem.
and i thought that
it was good that he got the prize.
today i was teaching my daughter
how to design a portfolio
and i was showing her ryder ripps website
and i randomly opened his 200 obvious ideas poem
and it was as good as bob dylan’s poem.
like all ideas,
shareholder value
was beautiful and good
long time ago
but today it is
a bit ridiculous
good kids
either tell you to fuck off
or
do exactly as you tell them
i just felt like writing a poem
because writing a poem
makes me feel
like i did something
really good
first you have to
take poetry seriously
second you have to
not worry how it sounds out loud
poetry is about silence
third you have to
make a point
pointless stuff just
does not work anymore
fourth you have to
be brutally honest
no more bullshit
no one needs it
good luck!
almost
as good
as my
poetry
it takes
only few seconds
to write a poem
no one can
really tell if its
good or bad
there is
a tiny chance
kids will have
those stupid
what-does-it-all-mean
discussions
in school
about your poems
while musicians
and painters
need decades
to perfect their
abilities
you do not need
any education or training
the less you know
better your poetry
will be
you hardly need
to know how to spell
or even speak
if no one
has any clue
what your poems
are about
this is perfectly
acceptable
yet poems are
somehow
so very cool
just so
very very cool
you are
totally useless
very soon
you will only be
a pile of smelly junk
people love you
only because they
love themselves
and cause they shit
their pants
when they remember
that they are also
insignificant
if you ever invented
anything
you do not even
have a clue how you
invented it
it just happened
and you have no control
if you ever did
anything good
it was only an
accident
something that
could have easily have
happened to
anyone else
you do not
even suck
you are not
even that important
you are just
a stupid useless
chemical nanoevent
in otherwise
meaningless oblivion
is as good
as much as
the first sex sucks
this shirt is so fucking great
it is so good
i can just like shit myself
and it is too good
like warm and soft in my pants
that is how good this shirt is
yeah im doing well
now im doing better
and im doing it so well
im faster and better
and im kicking ass
feels so good
