Insta Poetry II

I

atticus and lovelace what shall i do
but bleed words

II

great poets die this century
great artists too
there is one world
not two

III

man searches for echoes of himself
in the mirror of words
never searching for an authors soul

IV

they say woman or man use both
but man is man
and woman is woman

V

we do not know much right now
other than what we feel inside
therefore no one really knows whats on the outside
and thats the tragic thing lately

VI

we like to assume that life is merely internal
and forget the vast world outside of us
like a poet once said
there was otherness in the moraine
and it could not be removed

VII

i talked to a woman
and found her untrustworthy
i talked to a man and found him the same
i sit in a room and feel the hatred
alone i sit sheltered by my thoughts

VIII

politics that transcends ourselves
is truly artistic
but speaking our brand is only propaganda
and everything is a brand
that is why ai makes better art now
no one truly cares about the artist
only their reflection into the void of words and images

IX

later i will make one remark
then two
it doesnt get listened to

X

they see me like a child
and so i never fully grow
and then when i am grown
they say how like a child i am
yet we grow with other people
and where you are isolated you cannot

XI

isolation makes callow
for we must live in contact with peers
we must move with them
but when they cant be trusted to move
we must be like a child
and meekly go where our hands are held

XII

there is a reason christ said
blessed are the meek
for fortune bestows its graces carelessly

XIII

they say show do not tell
the lesson is just a cruel
that is what t____ said
she was also very stupid

XIV

morality is true
love is real
faith is valid
for without faith
morality is false
love is hormones
and faith is null

XV

i wonder why people love cruelty
and love to see the pain of others
humor me the three stooges we know were fools on screen
but the people would poke their eyes in real life
why are humans like this

XVI

there is pleasure in anothers suffering
it goes named among the germans
who have the highest sociopath population in the world

XVII

mr magoo is funny on screen
but in real life is a tragedy
thus art is a medium not necessarily reality

XVIII

why do we want art to be true
when it reflects truth
for when it is true it reflects none
but the carelessness of our world

XIX

movements of physics and chemistry
are the sole operation of this world
and a miracle is when god intervenes

XX

i find true love is a miracle
transcending what is merely chemical
that power is what i believe in
for i have seen it many times
