“Crowded places, I shunned them as noises too rude
And fled to the silence of sweet solitude.
Where the flower in green darkness buds, blossoms, and fades,
Unseen of all shepherds and flower-loving maids—
The hermit bees find them but once and away.
There I'll bury alive and in silence decay.”

“Crowdists love “competition” of a fixed nature, where a single vector determines the winner. They do not like real life competition, including evolution, as it assesses the individual as a whole and does not simply rank individuals by ability. For this reason crowds love both sports events and free market capitalism, as each allow people to gain power according to a linear system. The more time you put into the system with the sole goal of making profit, excluding all else, the more likely it is that you can get wealth – and it can happen to anyone! That is the promise that makes crowds flock to these ideas. It is like the dream of being a rock star, or a baseball hero, or a billionaire: what makes it attractive is the idea that anyone can do it, if they simply devote themselves to a linear path of ascension – one that is controlled by the whims of the crowd. The crowd decides who is a baseball hero, or what to buy and thus who to make rich. Control without control.”

“CROWN OF INDIA
written by: Zaki Ansari
@ZakiAshkim
Sweets of Eid and holy
Christmas cake and langar at Gurudwara
everything pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me
there is a bit of suffocation in the new atmosphere
somebody spreading the poison of hatred
now, it seems to me
of course, we may have new things. There is no averse
but the old form of my nation is more pleasant for me
any religion, any faith or anyone
Everyone loves this soil
It’s a mother for everyone
dwell affection among all the children
a mother feels happy, it seems to me
blood stain of children on the land
no mother can like it, it seems to me
what will our generation’s inheritance be?
it depends on us
What kind of nation do we want to build?
it depends on us
but we all have to keep that in mind
That’s most relevant, it seems to me
the only crown of culture & etiquette of ganga jamuni
suits on India’s head & it’s pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me
the only crown of culture & etiquette of ganga jamuni
suits on India’s head & it’s pleasant for me
Hindu, Muslim or belong to any religion
loving humankind is pleasant for me”

But knowledge makes a king most like his Maker.”

“Crows appear in many of my new unpublished poems. In these walks, they take on a symbolic life apart from their irritating, undeniable, interruptive presence. I figure them differently.”

“Crows are harbingers of death and omens, good and bad, according to Big Jim according to Google. Midnight-winged tricksters associated with mystery, the occult, the unknown. The netherworld, wherever it is- Portland? We make people think of the deceased and super angsty poetry. Admittedly we don't help the cause when we happily dine on fish guts in a landfill, buy hey ho.”
