Like a vicious Cobra bent on revenge. Don't ask , What's it like to lose your mind? I'm finding out. Some fates are worse than death. Protect your mind above all, or, suffer the consequences.

It pains me that I feel I can't share this man's work with others for as soon as I show any hint of feeling or thinking like this they become concerned as if something is wrong with me. There is something wrong but it's not with me, it's with the fatalistic flaws of humanity itself. Believing itself to be a God when it is mearly an animal.

The greatest tragedy is the wasted potential of all of us. From humanity failing to care for itself, down to the parents who raise their children poorly and kn abuse and anger. Everyone wants to look away. Wants to pretend it's fine. Want to pretend those homeless people on the corner aren't real. Or forget them the moment we stop seeing them. People want to bury their head in the dirt, tell the rest of us to do the same. Try to behead those who won't bury their heads. It will take a massive collapse, to bring EVERYONE down to the same level before we'll start caring again. Before we'll remember what made our species great. Community. Cooperation. We wouldn't be here if we didn't learn the value of this. The greatest tragedy is being able to see the train wreck coming, to point and shout, warning people. And they look. And then they look at you and tell you to look away and stop bothering them. The problem isn't theirs. Until it is.

@@mibikitzyga9045 I feel this so much. We go through everyday, juggling many difficult things, looking anywhere but at what's right there. And in those moments where you wake up to the reality of yourself and other human beings, existing right now in the world, surrounding each other, but being really alone at the same time- when you wake up to that, you realise that there's nothing which matters more. Until, that is, you lose sight of it for a moment, and are drawn straight back into the endless ways of looking away. I have just discovered Bukowski, and have been captured by the sight of a rare person who openly existed, in all his flaws, and sees. And sees how most of us kind of fake our way through life. Ultimately it's up to us to live awake. If there is a way that someone else can show you how to see people, I don't know it.

Something long. Something short. A KZread comment for Bukowski that deserves no retort.

I love the shot at the banality of watches that give you the date.

Nobody... Nobody does Bukowski like Tom O'Bedlam! 👍

As someone newly sober, I am finding that I can write sober, still. But I can't decide on whether or not to drop Bukowski. He's my favorite poet. I can't seem to be as effected by other writers. Oh well, life is full of dilemmas...

You'll never hear anything like Bukowski anywhere else but by God does he make you want a beer or 20. His words cut deep but unfortunately, cuts hurt and addictions are used to mask pains. My advice would be to let him go and if you find yourself coming back to him, look around and see what's wrong, what's drawing you back into this way of thinking and craving these moods. I used to sit on my bedroom floor drinking honey bourbon out of the bottle. The bottle would be empty 3 hours later and I was ready to either pass out or die, didn't care which. I'm better now however I'm back listening to bukowski which means I have some life fixing to do.

Thought I was gonna watch The World's Most Famous slap to a Bukowski poem.

I write about what I see and feel I don't write to be like the others. Bukowski is bukowski and I am me. I like bukowski because he Is himself and knows who he is. A man full of knowledge and doesn't know himself is without everything.

This is superb! Congrats John!

People are good to each other only when it benefits them in some way. Emotional , physical or otherwise. Even if it's out of the so-called goodness of their hearts they still do it to get some kind of satisfaction for themselves.

God damn this was amazing.

We are not good to each other because we are only human. We have limited time, energy, decisions, and resources. Because of these axioms and the system we live in things will not get better.

Keep up the good work!

Real poetry

Great stuff!

Amazing

This got me man.

This is fuegooo 🔥🔥🔥

Rediscovering Bukowski at this time is probably the worst thing I could have done. The melancholy, the stark sadness just speed up the cycle of loss and depression. As my candle flickers and gutters, the wax nearly just a pool, the wick black and twisted, writhing in it's final moments. I have made so many mistakes, missed so many cues, I face the inevitable alone. I have not spoken to another human for so long I wonder if my voice even makes sounds. I can hear it in my head, but if there were someone else here, would they hear it?

Nice editing

@@VictorCrzz You try to claim objective truth while making very subjective statements. You can see beauty and uglyness, both does exist just in a very subjective way. A lion eating a gazelle can be seen as the beautiful cycle of life or as ugly, offensive and savage just by the way of your worldview and the position in the world you have. This has nothing to do anyhow with "truth" in an exclusive way how you want to frame it.
