decades


1312 history of power

long long time ago power was
for everyone.

for many millennia power was
for the few only.

the last century or so power was
for the majorities.

the last few decades power was
for the minorities.

in the future power will be
again for everyone.




1268 i do not like books

i do not read books
and it took me decades
to understand why
i do not like it.

it is because
they are so subjective
and i do not like
anything with a limited
point of view.




1189 really bad poems

it really is ok
to write
really bad poems
for couple of decades




1177 really bad poems

are really really bad
but if you give them
couple of years
or decades
they will become
really really good

928 be careful

be careful not to waste your life
thinking you are changing things
while you are only satisfying
the need for change
with your useless nonsense
which prevents real change.

the key to real change
is very specific
and takes decades to discover
and only few can discover it.

be careful because there is nothing
more scary than a wasted life.




695 i am still not sure

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
