ART WHICH SAVES

TEARS ARE POURING DOWN
for one day I fill the container with cardboard
said nine year old Vidan to me. a boy from Padina who is collecting cardboard from the streets
rivers on the planet Earth are tears which
are pouring down from the hearts of good beings
only through all beings all beings are good
without all beings only good beings are good
tears of good beings are pouring for all beings
I’m not yet aware enough of Aaron’s love for me You all beings
if You could only see how Vidan marvelously run down the Valjevska street with the cart
I’m happy that I don’t have children so all the street kids are my children
I’m happy that I don’t have children so all the younglings are my children
shoals of fish
flocks of birds
bevies of evenings
bevies of daybreaks
I turn my head to the right and I’m watching through
the window late afternoon sun breaking through the clouds
sun rays are also rivers of tears which are
pouring down and running towards the light in each being
while tears are pouring down my face I’m the most fuckable creature in this world
let’s walk by my words
my words are singing through the tears which are flying like swans
my words are singing to the kids which never deceive
walk by my throat
I’m singing these words through mild movements of my butt cheeks
my words are singing to the children which
are giving their lives so that the very life would survive
history is the history not only of the winners but the history of grown ups
history is a lie because it’s not speaking of children
who are sacrificing so that the life would survive but children who
are sacrificed are mentioned so that it would be charged even more so
people are slaughtering and devouring
chicken lamb… meat unconsciously or rather very conscious
that by doing so they are slaughtering their own child-meat and devouring it
for the first time in the Miroslav Mandic I’ve mentioned – child-meat
child-meat is screaming in pain so that chicken meat would be freed from pain
child-meat is screaming in pain so that lamb meat would be freed from pain
child-meat is screaming in pain so that all younglings would be freed from pain

HEROISM THROUGH BLESSINGS
tenderness liberates from fears don’t hunt for sameness but surrender to the unexpected to the charming pigs which are rolling in the mud to the rose bud last night I started reading the book A People’s History of the United Sates by Howard Zinn it will be my break up with and farewell to the American culture I grew up on American culture many things adored in it adopted Indians blues jazz struggle against racism Walt Whitman Ralph Waldo Emerson David Henry Thoreau abstract painting conceptual art Billie Holiday Gertrude Stein now it’s finished with the American culture I despise the crimes and genocides that used to be and are still done by American culture crimes of American culture are only an icing on the cake of all previous crimes of leading cultures crime is nothingness and it cannot be the foundation of human society but it has been until now old tree trunks are the witnesses of all of that rocks are screaming about it constantly in spite of all that horror which was appearing to be the progress and which is still leading and enslaving the human society there have always been beautiful angels among people real history is a poem of one and only love of all beings the history of good will and transformation I want I want changes. I want is the change if a man wants to change he or she changes if a man doesn’t want to change he or she doesn’t change only all beings only each being likes all beings
HEROISM THROUGH BEING MARKED AND HAVING NO WAY OUT
Milomir’s suicide marked a life of nine year old Miroslav being marked continued through art when I was twenty through jail Rose of Wandering earing tattoos all beings fairy-tale singing Miroslav Mandic God people were staying away from me and they still do. I was also staying away from people and I still do so that I don’t jeopardise or hurt them with my views and beliefs I’m sixty three alone nobody near my loved ones don’t believe in me and my art they see me the same way I left in my youth and they wish me what I’m disgusted with they mock me because they can’t believe in what I’m doing and who I am they are embarrassed with me and silent about me they are betraying their yearning for me and through this suppression they are betraying with their secretiveness they are closing the ways of goodness and beauty between us they are silent about what I gave them and they cannot talk about me through intellectual loftiness they are betraying the depth of our common experiences they are identifying with their wishes thinking that they are identifying with me they have never introduced me to their loved ones they don’t share me with anybody but they keep me for themselves they are drawing me into their traumas and by doing so everything we are doing turns into tomfoolery they are forgetting who warmed their hearts and they are constantly arguing with me in their heads they are accusing me. they get miserable in front of me. they are madly closing up and unconsciously are fighting in order to dominate me they are favouring the society over the sanctity of our relationship they interpreting me according to the rules of their taste and of the present system they are lying about me and falsifying my words they would want to draw me into the existing lies they are trying to rationalise my inspirations and disturb my tranquillities they don’t make the difference between innocence and naivety. firmness and stiffness. obedience and passive obedience. sameness and similarity they are saying that they know me even though they know very little about me my efforts towards them they stultify with arbitrariness my absence from terminology and authority they are using for imposing their terminology and imposing their authority they are imposing their family on my family of all beings they get scared from being delighted with me so they run away and accuse me thinking my way is impossible and not accepting it they are offering theirs and they are angry when I reject them my admiration for wondrous they replacing with self-interest with realistic looking up to my dedication to art they are replacing it with their success in art my struggle with myself they are replacing with being miserable about themselves they are projecting their flaws and interpreting me through my flaws instead overcoming theirs they are limiting me with their experience instead throwing themselves into the limitlessness of relationship my beloved loved ones no-way-out is between us and that is now our only chance that we have together. that’s why help me to live even braver create even more miraculous sing even simpler i am and i am god
