Genius of the Crowd by Charles Bukowski

[@Sanity-Hit]

Completely underrated. Congrats. 10/10

As someone who hinges my entire identity on being against war, I cannot fail to acknowledge my own capacity for evil. I am nothing more than average and I am overeducated in using complex sounding language to compensate for my lack of liveliness and intelligence. I can't handle solitude because when I am alone, the realization dawns on me that I am alone because I am nothing special. This fuels the purported genius of my hatred in a self-perpetuating cycle of demise towards everyone around me. I simply cannot stand the failure of my own art and there is part of me that would rather watch the world end than to persist with my own purported art being destroyed. I can blame the police for corrupting me with violence, I can blame my family for corrupting me with contaminated blood and a hideous body, and I can blame the world for corrupting me with cultural hypnosis. In the end, I would be celebrated and well respected if I created better art. I would be loved by women if I truly had a soul. So in seeing that I am entirely average, what is the use in continuing to fill the world with the stupidity of my false morals and cheap mimicry? What is the use in continuing to blame women for never giving me the tender warmth of their hearts? What is the use in continuing to even go in public when my greatest use to the world is my own solitude? There is no use, because I am incapable of becoming as important as I have led myself to believe.

At somedays I feel why don't I put the barrel of the gun and pull the trigger. Because at the end of the day nothing matters and nothing will. Our worth is nothing more than some ant or fly or chicken. And ultimately if one have to die why to put up with the grind and then die pathetically and slowly in old age.

Thank you for putting this together. I love the music. ❤️❤️

As a composer, I say let the silence be coloured in. As a poet I say, let it sing. Follow this when making these kinds of videos, and both will breathe.

I love it. Got excited to see a new video up. The clips you chose here are powerful with Bukowski's words. Keep them coming.

Be aware of those who use loud and motivational music in poetry.
