The Poet Offends
Sep 24, 2022
“A poet is someone who has a strong sense of self and feels his life to be meaningful. By insisting on that self and refusing to become the socialized article that bureaucrats, priests, rabbis, and so-called educators approve of, the poet offends the brainwashed millions who are the majority in any country. His words, his free manner of living are a constant irritation to the repressed, the fearful, the self-satisfied, and incurious.”
