Francis Bacon's Bon Mot Mind

"Knowledge is power"

--What a joke--

Power is power!


The sun accompanies me.

Yellow and white lines point at me.

Yellow and white cigarette remains define me.

Sarcastic black crows hysterically laugh at me.


"Knowledge is power"

--What a joke--

Power is power!


Tall buildings do not define men.

Much like men: they fall apart,

They rot,

They disappear.


"Knowledge is power"

--What a joke--

Power is power!


And you,

Are you angry?

Are you sad?

Disappointed perhaps?


Knowledge is not fucking power.

Power is fucking power;

And few obtain it too.


Knowledge is not power

because power is power

and that is the joke.


I am the joke.

You are the joke.

We are the joke.
