i told my friend
that he should check out
my poems
because
i wrote a poem about him.

but that was a lie.
i did not write a poem
about him.

some say that the only thing
israelis and palestinians can do
is to kill each other.

this is the stupidest lie ever.

the simplest way to end this conflict
is that israelis decide
not to only be israelis
and that palestinians decide
not to only be palestinians.

once the idea
that a person must only be one thing
is gone
the need to kill everything else
is gone.

trust me.

using complex words
and inventing new words
is often a way
to lie to others
and yourself.

go back to the source:
use simple words
and you will be more honest.

bullshit is worse than a lie
because it makes us
confused, passive, impotent

truth moves us forward
lie moves us backward
bullshit blocks our movement

game of thrones started great
because martin solved the problem
tolkien failed to solve:
how to tell a story without
the idiotic binary good versus bad.

but the business people
took over and simplified the story into
the idiotic binary good versus bad
thinking they can make more money
and they bored us to death.

in part it is our fault
because we constantly forget
that our minds reject
the idiotic binary good vs bad
because it is a lie.

the truth is
that we never feel a single emotion
about anything.
for example, we admire, fear, and hate a tiger
at the same time.

no matter how much
business people want us to be
simple stupid buyers
the idiotic binary good vs bad
will always bore us to death.

all business people can do
is to monopolize human storytelling
and make all stories about
the idiotic binary good versus bad
so we are left without any other choice.

the pressure to never tell a lie
only made us lie to ourselves
that a lie is not a lie

everyone is pretending that
war is not a human activity
with a single goal of
absolutely destroying the enemy
in the most horrible possible way.

julian assange became
an enemy of usa
and the only reason
he was not instantly burned alive
is that he showed up on TV a few times.

everyone likes what he did
but it is really very stupid
to believe
that he will not live the rest of his life
in extreme pain and agony.

every single country
would do the same
to julian assange
because all countries
are the same.

stop pretending
that we are my little ponies.
we are still savage tribes
but with spaceships
and nuclear weapons.
