Bukowski did not like Shakespeare

I agree with Bukowski
Shakespeare did not do it for me
his plays were too clever
but it's not just that
do we know who he really was
it seems to me he was feeding
the vanity of the rich and powerful
and at the same time making fun of them
but it was more titillation
of their humungous egos
the elite did not learn anything
from the wisdom or folly
they don't laugh at themselves
they only enjoy seeing
the poor people starve
but Bukowski did not like Shakespeare
because Shakespeare was insufferable to read
