i really did not want
to write a poem
and i really had
nothing to say
so i wrote this poem

i want to only follow
people who only have
few followers,
who notice me,
and maybe even talk to me,
and who care
that i follow them.

i do not want nothing
ich möchte nicht nichts
non voglio niente
δεν θέλω τίποτα
ne želim ništa

i want twenty kids
i want one kid
i want a life partner without kids
i want a partner sometimes
i only want friends
i want to be alone
i do not want to live

if i lived 1000 years i would:
speak 20 languages,
play 5 instruments,
master charcoal drawing,
design and build many houses,
work as a scientist for a century,
start at least 50 businesses,
write 20 books,
write 100,000 poems,
have 40 children,
compete in almost every sport…

all i want
is to die as a hero
in the battle for the truth

sometimes
i want to be a son again
and sometimes a father

sometimes
i want to be a soldier
and sometimes a pacifist

sometimes
i want to be a friend
and sometimes an enemy

i am a great writer
not because
i know grammar
but because
i want to share

always remember that
“extreme” public thinkers
tone down what people actually want

famous people
are famous
because
they want to be famous
not because they want
to make the world better

there are these people
who can do so little
and yet what they do
is so powerful
and meaningful
and fresh

and then
there are these people
who want to be
like these other people
but just can not cut it

and they spend
unbelievable amounts of energy
to achieve
absolutely nothing

and their whole lives
amount to shit and piss they excreted
and nothing else
