we spend
99 % of our energy
on figuring out
how to put ideas
into words
using complex words
and inventing new words
is often a way
to lie to others
and yourself.
go back to the source:
use simple words
and you will be more honest.
write words with less letters.
write sentences with less words.
write articles with less sentences.
this will focus your writing
on truth and meaning.
step 1 – select terms:
chose words that represent
complex ideas important to you.
step 2 – define terms:
define each term with
one or more short sentences.
step 3 – define relationships between terms:
explain how terms
how they change each other.
step 4 – publish it all online
there are no hardware upgrades
so start upgrading software
using words and images
so many people
give up on saying what they think
because for them finding pretty words is too hard.
they are shamed
for being emotional and inarticulate
into being a voiceless.
this is one of the biggest tragedies
because their thoughts are not heard
by their family and friends.
we should work harder
on helping people to express themselves
in any way and style they can.
if someone does not have the words
to explain their emotions
let them express themselves
any way they can
and give them time
to find their words
everyone is smart
but not everyone is eloquent
after two decades
of writing poems
i am still not sure
if i should write numbers
as digits or words
when read silently
the brain hears numbers
in both cases
the same way
it is easier to read digits
but maybe not so pretty
poetry
is an exploration of
how words change
the universe.
i can write a word
which is read by many
giving them an idea
which choices to make.
these choices
eventually add up
enough to start changing
the universe.
