*i don't know my favourite
colour or the greatest film
i've seen
i know very little about
this world
i know even less about
everything
everyday i wake up and
write some of it down
and i watch the same
people do the same things
over and over
that's all they
know
and when they ask me
what my favourite colour
is
i lie and i tell them that i
enjoy all colours
that my favourite film
is a Clockwork Orange by
Stanley Kubrick
that i read books and
how politicians are ruining
the society
i want them to say
you're so great avi you
know so much about the
world
i want them to see
more of me so i see
less of them
and more they
see of me the less i
care
for i know they have
a favourite colour
i know they know
lyrics to their favourite
songs
and they've seen a
movie ten times and
remember all of it
how bored i am
of their constant
knowing
their constant
listening
there's no scarcity
of men and women who
think they know things
but have so little
to say
it's better to not
know than be bright
and boring
better to be
miserable and not laugh
than to be so mechanical
and submissive
most people are
not free
because they know
too much
at some point knowing
becomes a permanent
burden
too heavy for any
evolution to repair
that's when you
stop to live and start
to die
and i don't want
to die just yet
and i don't want to
be mundane
i don't want the
answers or want to know
my favourite colour
i simply don't want to
be boring.*
