El genio de la multitud, traduccion

The Genius of the Crowd (Charles Bukowski)

There is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
human being to supply any given army on any given day
and the best at murder arethose who preach against it
and the best at hate are those who preach love
and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not havepeace
those who preach peace do not have love
beware the preachers
beware the knower’s
beware those who are always reading books
beware those who either detest poverty
or are proud of it
bewarethose quick to praise
for they need praise in return
beware those who are quick to censor
they are afraid of what they do not know
beware those who seek constant crowds for
they are nothing alonebeware the average man the average woman
beware their love, their love is average
seeks average
but there is genius in their hatred
there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
to killanybody
not wanting solitude
not understanding solitude
they will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
not being able to create art
they will not understand art
they willconsider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
not being able to love fully
they will believe your love incomplete
and then they will hate you
and their hatred will be perfect
likea shining diamond
like a knife
like a mountain
like a tiger
like hemlock
their finest art

(EL GENIO DE LA MULTITUD

Hay suficiente traición odio, violencia, necedad en el ser humanocorriente como para abastecer cualquier ejército o cualquier jornada.
Y los mejores asesinos son aquellos que predican en su contra.
Y los que mejor odian son aquellos que predican amor.
Y los que mejorluchan en la guerra son -al final- aquellos que predican paz.
Aquellos que hablan de Dios.
Necesitan a Dios
Aquellos que predican paz
No tienen paz.
Aquellos que predican amor
No tienen amor....
