that last post sucked heres something more interesting its my favorite poem. it's a poem by Charles Bukowski:
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

In light of your prior post, I say read more Richard Brautigan and less Charles Bukowski.

You know, I already have a suicide method and it involves me driving my motorcycle off the side of a high mountain road at 130 mph. I almost did it this morning in a fit of rage mixed with depression. But thanks for your concern.

sicosemen I do suck at life. I hate mine and this morning I have never felt more disgusted or depressed with myself and life. Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

you know wildcat I have no clue if I should take that as a compliment or an insult. If this was an alter I assume it would mean you think I have another account on this site, one that is possibly better. On the other hand you hate my posts and if it wasn't an alter it would be a testament to how bad I sucked.

so let me get this straight, you are seeking acceptance, from random internet strangers, based on merit, for copying and pasting someone else's work?
