there is only
one bad idea
and that is
that there is only
one idea

the word democracy is meaningless,
and is used to centralize power
like never before in human history.

what we are told democracy is
has never existed,
and probably never will exist.

we need a new better idea.

how many more children
do we need to kill
to prove
that outsourcing
collective decision making
to few elected politicians
is not a good idea
anymore

some say that the only thing
israelis and palestinians can do
is to kill each other.

this is the stupidest lie ever.

the simplest way to end this conflict
is that israelis decide
not to only be israelis
and that palestinians decide
not to only be palestinians.

once the idea
that a person must only be one thing
is gone
the need to kill everything else
is gone.

trust me.

the phrase
“while i drift into nihilism”
was repeating in my head
and i felt i should write
a poem about it,
but i had no idea
how to actually use it
or what it means

long long time ago
the west was an idea
which absorbs all other ideas
making everything better.

today
the west is an idea
in conflict with all other ideas
making everything worse.

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.

we can never say:
people are good or bad.
we can always say:
ideas are good or bad.

racism exists only because
no better idea is offered
to make racism useless

racism is the most destructive idea
that ever existed.

it is virus which prevents us
from becoming what we can be.

it directly attacks cooperation –
our most important resource for growth.

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.

i love money.
it is a great invention.
it is easy to carry and count.
much better than chickens, pigs, and rocks.

but it is not more than a tool.
some people get carried away
that it is an idea, a goal, a purpose,
but these people are idiots.

all ideas are forgotten
and they have no value
whatsoever

like all ideas,
shareholder value
was beautiful and good
long time ago
but today it is
a bit ridiculous

feeling
dream
poem
comic book
movie
politician
engineer

few years ago
i had an amazing idea
for an artwork
which would connect people
in a new way
never seen before
and would change
everything in art
but i was super lazy
to even write an email
about it.

the worst tragedy
is to come up with a great idea
and forget it a minute after.

what is left is
only a feeling
of utter inability and neglect.

an almighty god
just stood and watched
a bunch of idiots
torture and kill his only son.

his son was begging him for help
but he remained silent
so he could save the entire human race
including the idiots.

someone in a desert
thousands of years ago
came up with this story
and converted few billion people.

well done.

i still get these amazing ideas
for poems which should change the world.
i get them while i am
driving or showering.
and i think:
this one i will write down
and share online
and the world will love me
and everything will change.
by everything i really think everything.
like, we will not drive but fly.
and internet will be in our minds.
that sort of change.
and then i forget the poem.
and it is the same stupid problem
i had ten years ago
when i started writing poetry.
the worst thing about it is
i do not care so much that i forget.
i do not care that i did not
change the whole world
and made everybody love me.
and even worst worst worst thing is
that i do not care that i do not care.

whoever had an idea
to make oceans
and mountains
and bananas
and dolphins
and sunsets
and sugar
is a genius
