   The Genius of the Crowd - Charles Bukowski

   fatalistichues:

   fuckyeahbukowski:

   somehowsomeway:

   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
