So great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock
People so tired, mutilated, either by love or no love.
People just are not good to each other.
We are afraid.
Our educational system tells us that we can all be big winners
But it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides.
Or the terror of one person aching in one place
Alone, untouched, and unspoken to.
People are not good to each other.
People are not good to each other."
-Charles Bukowski
I was looking for some writing samples on your blog for English class, and I almost forgot about how sweet this post was. With that being said, I traced the quote back to its original post and retrieved it; special thanks to you.
