Frugality with economy of words
hoping you will read between the lines
silence dishing out the obvious

the minimalist

decries clutter

wishing for less

perhaps nothing

a seeking goal

fulfilled~

Minimum is maximum...
say a lot, write little

Minimalist Quotes

The bullet you
don't shoot
yet
will be
story...

The stone you
don't throw
yet
serve you,
one day...

Only reality is
hallucinatory,
the dream
not ...

No candle
sleep guards of
who doesn't
dream ...

Trash and luxury
are slips
the same
men...

The biggest betrayal
is to be stabbed
in the back by
yourself...

Minimalist Modernist

thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa

Premium Member The Minimalist

Most crimes have foundations of desperation- disdain-hate.
What is your foundation made of?
Are you desperate-do you hate?
Would you take a life for a hit of crystal meth. 
Is your hate based on jealousy-revenge?
What happened to prayer and discipline?

What about the criminally insane.
Do we let them work out their kinks across the neck of society.
Do we lock them away.... discard the key.

There's a pair of crazy eyes heading for the school.
Not much we can do but hunker down...
and pray the carnage is minimal.
