Since last year
I did not write poetry.
I won’t, no need.
Thank you, God.
Huge numbers are
here and there.
I divorced fake poetry
and immigrated away
to a quiet bay
that knows nothing
but the truth.
Kids in my village
understand my poems.
My poems are simple like me, like them.
They are my smiles and theirs,
my tears and theirs.
The poets in the village
made my poems ash,
ate me alive,
cut my body into million pieces. Dead,
they cut me,
ate me,
because I reject lies.
I threw their poems in the trash.
O heavens,
pour anger on these poets,
all poets except
true poets who are
few in this world,
but they are poets and
the only poets.
O poets,
you are nowhere.
You say you know,
yes, you know that you do not know.
Even your poems are mad at you,
and your poems curse you!
You claim you are the poets
of majority,
Yet the majority rejects you,
rejects your poetry,
knows true poetry, and
cannot be fooled
by false colors.
The majority knows
the secret of colors.
