The Genius Of The Crowd
there is enough treachery,
hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army
on any given day
and the best at murder are those
who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love
beware the preachers
beware the knowers
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
beware those quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alone
beware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average
but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to kill anybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect
like a shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock
their finest art
~Charles Bukowski

This seems artsy.
I don't understand artsy
Which is why I majored in math.
I feel the need to snap my fingers
In some sort of rhythm
And don't know why.
If I keep randomly hitting the enter key does it make it look like poetry?

Later on that day
My homie Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tanqueray
And a fat-ass J, of some bubonic chronic that made me choke
Shit, this aint no joke
I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down
Tanqueray and chronic, yeah I'm fucked up now
But it aint no stoppin', Im still poppin'
Dre got some bitches from the City of Compton

I came on uber today to launch a -2 tirade at everyone on the front page, in order to vent my anger.
My house is fucked. Swindon was completely flooded yesterday, and my shit was right in the middle of it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/content/image_galleries/swindon_floods_gallery.shtml?2
I can't sell my shitty house.
I can't move to my nice new house.
All bets are off.
Joey is 'a bit pissed off' to say the least.
This cheered me up slightly because it's you. +2 for that.
(p.s you have frustrated anfry mail with more detail)

Yeah, it comes from the latin root "sinister" for left-handed. So technically my name is an adjective, thus making it grammatically incorrect as a name. :(
