Bukowski

[ObfuscateParticipant 26]

i am not sure how many of you have read him, but bukowski, reminds me of somethings i read here… he was a bit of a pick up artist from time to time, but reading him is a good “red pill experience” in my opinion… what do you folks think of him?

alone with everybody
-bukowski

the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there’s no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

shoes
-bukowski

when you’re young
a pair of
female
high-heeled shoes
just sitting
alone
in the closet
can fire your
bones;
when you’re old
it’s just
a pair of shoes
without
anybody
in them
and
just as
well.

melancholia
-bukowski

the history of melancholia
includes all of us.

me, I writhe in dirty sheets
while staring at blue walls
and nothing.

I have gotten so used to melancholia
that
I greet it like an old
friend.

I will now do 15 minutes of grieving
for the lost redhead,
I tell the gods.

I do it and feel quite bad
quite sad,
then I rise
CLEANSED
even though nothing
is solved.

that’s what I get for kicking
religion in the ass.

I should have kicked the redhead
in the ass
where her brains and her bread and
butter are
at …

but, no, I’ve felt sad
about everything:
the lost redhead was just another
smash in a lifelong
loss …

I listen to drums on the radio now
and grin.
there is something wrong with me
besides
melancholia.

I like the first one, ugly simplicity. Not a word too much, to paint surreal pictures and tell a story.
Melancholia is too fine for me, do not understand.

I would not say they are MGTOW material, but are wise on a broader sense than mgtow.
Like the words from an elder, wise man who has seen life, and its ugliness too.

i see what you mean… he wasn’t someone i think of as embracing the same mindset, but i believe he struggled with the same issues… he seemed to vacillate between blue pill desire and red pill realism… he almost enjoyed wallowing in his failure to join the two… my reasoning behind saying he is a good red pill experience is that he highlights the trouble with seeing the world as it is and refusing to adapt a strategy beyond alcoholism…

Bukowski certainly has some very excellent & legendary quotable passages for all time.

One that springs to mind . . .

That will kick start a few thoughts while waiting at the next red light on your way to work.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

He is one of my favorite poets. His poem ‘It is Your Life’ was paramount inspiration for me in my MGTOW journey. I looked at the video every day before work for months to remind myself not to ‘Swim in Same slough”. I didn’t want to go back to thinking I needed a woman or valuing myself by my relationships with them. It help me immensely in reprogramming myself to become sovereign.
