They Think They Have THE Right To Tell Lies About Me, WHY?

“People empty me. I have to get away to refill.”

- Charles Bukowski

Today’s Rant

…
I do not trust fervor. Every time it has burst out somewhere, it has brought fire, famine, misery.  … And contempt for man.
Fervor is the weapon of choice of the impotent…

  - Frantz Fanon - Black Skin, White Masks

One of the reasons for me to ignore racists/stupid people bully, the other is their cowardice of never directly addressing me.

So, the majority of people I socially interact with …

“People empty me. I have to get away to refill.”

- Charles Bukowski

This Is Not Unrelated To The Previous Post

“nobody can save you but

yourself.

you will be put again and again

into nearly impossible

situations.

they will attempt again and again

through subterfuge, guise and

force

to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly

inside.

nobody can save you but

yourself

and it will be easy enough to fail

so very easily

but don’t, don’t, don’t.

just watch them.

listen to them.

do you want to be like that?

a faceless, mindless, heartless

being?

do you want to experience

death before death?

nobody can save you but

yourself

and you’re worth saving.

it’s a war not easily won

but if anything is worth winning then

this is it.

think about it.

think about saving your self.

Charles Bukowski

"
we are always asked
to understand the other person’s
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.
one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.
but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.
not their fault?
whose fault?
mine?
I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.
age is no crime
but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life
among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives
is.
“

shot in the eye
shot in the brain
shot in the ass
shot like a flower in the dance

amazing how death wins hands down
amazing how much credence is given to idiot forms of life

amazing how laughter has been drowned out
amazing how viciousness is such a constant

I must soon declare my own war on their war
I must hold to my last piece of ground
I must protect the small space I have made that has allowed me life

my life not their death
my death not their death…
