never be afraid or shy
to ask critical questions.
never care if you are called
rude or stupid or not cool or crazy.
never think that you are not
eloquent or stylish enough.

always remember
that asking critical questions
in any form and style
is the best prevention
against kids raping parties,
school shootings, and wars.

in a world where
trillions are invested
and millions are employed
to promote weird untested ideas
few critical poems are welcome

the real question is:
why are you bothering me
about few critical poems
when they are
in your interest too?

why do i need
to brush my teeth
three times a day
three minutes each time?

why not
two times a day
for one minute?

what is gained
with extra one time a day
and with two extra minutes per brushing?

i am trying to avoid
socially and politically critical poems
but i just can not resist writing this one.

human race is able
to industrially manufacture anything
using factories and mass media.

we can manufacture any type of a person,
like an elite athlete or a murdering soldier,
but we are somehow running out of critical thinkers.

we could easily manufacture critical thinkers.
that knowledge exists for a century
and it is easier than manufacturing murdering soldiers.

but living on a planet full of critical thinkers
is to complex for us to imagine
so we are afraid of doing it.

but a planet full of stupid obedient people
appears safer and more comforting
no matter what kind of a mess they make.
