for every poem that i wrote
there are seven poems
i did not write
because
i was afraid of taking it too far
or i was unable to find the words.

and, in my megalomania,
i feel guilt
that i am too weak
to enlighten you with the truth,
but only way forward
is not to quit
but to keep writing safe and easy poems
like this one.

long long time ago power was
for everyone.

for many millennia power was
for the few only.

the last century or so power was
for the majorities.

the last few decades power was
for the minorities.

in the future power will be
again for everyone.

israel vs palestine
is a result of a false belief
that people can be only one thing:
israeli jew or a palestinian muslim.

it is a belief that that we can not be
thousand things at the same time,
that israeli jewish palestinian muslim
is impossible.

as soon as we understand
that we are capable of being many things,
we will be free,
we will be superhuman.

our feelings and inspiration
are the only truth
and none of our languages
can share it.

we will never know
the truth of other people
and all we will only know
our own truth.

words like god and love
are just simple lies
that do not come close
to sharing the truth.

when i was a kid
my father would flip me over
and i loved it.

i do the same to my son
and he loves it too.

i wish someone would
flip me over
so i could feel
like a kid again.

all empires fall
because they stick
to something that worked before
and continues working
only because it worked before
but would never work
if it started over again now
