Status
Don’t confuse it with a statue.
Don’t mix it up with anything visible.
Absolve yourself, cleanse yourself
of all thoughts of grandeur, even excess.
If you are getting the nth variation of the iPhone
If you are buying Dolce, Guchi, LV
and having your dick
sucked by 1,000 dollar whores,
you are on the wrong track, amigo.
You don’t know what status really is.
Cars, watches, yachts …
anybody can get this shit.
If you want status be silent.
Find the loudest man in the bar and
he’ll have the least respect
over time.
Live under the radar.
Beyond the chit-chat and this is that.
Live where words matter and are few.
In silence.
Silence is power over
your self
the world.
What the noise of science tells you
is evidence
is not evidence.
Be silent at night.
Sleep well.
Be silent at work.
Information is not power
but distraction.
You need focus to live well.
Be silent in your daily rituals.
Only in silence will God speak to you.
Be silent in your soul.
Only silence can distance you from
emotions, those dying sparks
that come to no good end.
Alas, my friend,
Don’t seek status,
it is a lame duck
that will never fly.
So what should you seek?
I told you – silence.
The honor of being a man.
Here and now.
Go do it.
But loudly.
So only your own heart
can hear it.
