Give Power To Poem by Atef Ayadi

Give Power To

someone asked'
''Est-il dangereux
de donner du pouvoir au peuple? ''
translated as
''is dangerous to give people the power? ''
it is a stupid question?
first who gives who?
are these people white,
african?
asian?
natives?
first imagine it is for african this time?
then natives!
then asians?
in all cases,
the turn outs
are liberals in natures
and either
republican or democrates.
so what is the fars?
two, power is a relation,
so, it is a cognition faculty.
one has it,
or one do not has it.

if one givespower to someone else,
one becomes a 'bee that itches.'
i mean a slave.
if one empowers someone,
the first thing this one does,
is to step on ones foot or both feet,
as a way to say
''hey i am training myself
on you, to see how you react,
how it works. i do not
know how this thing
worked out before.''
so i am not
interesting in
give and take power chances,
milking and milk derivatives.
there is no good cheese in athens.
no olive oil, and nothing to bake or shake with.
people of the cave
morphed or are
upgraded into
people of theater,
people of google,
people of tiktak,
people of face book,
people of the book
people of many books
cult after cult
culture within a culture,
a jail withing a jail,
only mating is allowed.
taxes are a bank fee,
and followed with rating.
now one's rating is important
to 'fok'
or
not to 'fak.'
that is the precise
price for civilization.
lonely, and walking with a dog is what one can
possibly do with one's power.
i mean, if one has it.
