Best Nietzsche Poems

Pain is everywhere

Till the end of the toes
He collapses in epilepsy
And lays there on the cold floor
For the whole day
Till the senses start coming

or so I've been told. 
And living in the Aesthetic

One longs for moral prospects of Karmic law,
but absurdism reigns Almighty
and at the base finds something raw;...

"Such mighty music from a single soul!
Ah, Wagner, you were superman until

But not into a chord.  He saw the book
And touched it gently as he would a child,
And...

Ages there are in which the ration'l man 
And th'intuitive stand side by side, the one 

In fear of intuition, or scorn for abstraction;

I from the shell game turned away
For if I did not
I should follow the mad man into decay
Should my hands dripping red 
With the guilt of sunset for the day
Or sunrise for the night
And come to the swaddling sea
And find
No ablution
For self growing from its...

And exerted a strong influence on some major movements in history.
Its effect can be traced to the fields of politics, evolution, and psychology,
And provides useful insights into the subject of African slavery.

Asked his mom,
“Who are you talking to when you’re talking to yourself?”

And it made me think a few things;
One, that the kid is bright and has a bright future 
Two, that I sure never thought such things at...
