Did I Get Slapped Before Poem by Atef Ayadi

Did I Get Slapped Before



not physically!
but intellectually.
that is
a work of the mind!
the software!
or the os, you know! ?
(if one does not understand
what is an os, please, talk to
bill gate or google. macos or ios is big mac in iowa, do not ask me?)
did i slapped someone,
yess!
i was teen,
and i faced off and fought five people afterward and escaped with minor bruises.
that is the world of chimps, and
karma is a bee that itches.

anger and violence are
a survival mechanisms.
it is about control.
who has it?
no one!
it starts with one though,
like a bubble in a lake.
and the hole lake blow up
and all hell breaks loose.
emotional decompression.
does not fix the bug in the system,
it just postpone it.
i put my anger on a piece of paper,
on a canvas,
or something!
what is wrong,
it is 'me' in the center.
being open,
is a part of
the lessening of control.
if slapping is wrong why
hbo hash hash slapping show?
or droning and bombing the hell
of any place?
that is a slap!
a technological warfare.
law can not stop insecurities,
the human nature as a struggling specie.

some people
including me,
found peace after a stormy anger.
a peace that smells anger.
there are many types of peace.
it is like a moment of
cold and freeze, then a
warm sensation diffused into the body.
to be free
could be thinking of nothing
and nothing would think of me!
which is great!
at least in my case.
