Harmony Day, Thursday 21st March 2019, Victoria, Australia


Dear Australia,

kind of everything we are and use comes from somewhere else:
Whether it’s the words we use, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, …

Our laws if not Indigenous, come from Europe mainly,
Our understandings of healthy living comes from Asia,
Our music, from Africa
Our medicine from South America
Our philosophy and political system from Africa and from Greece
Our moral code from the Middle East
Our numbers come from the Arab world
Our dreaming is Indigenous.

Our economy survives only because we trade with the world, live with the world, love with the world.
Many of us, when we grow up, will marry people from different places and cultures and make a family with an even better culture
It is ONE WORLD
Now more than ever
Any other way is not only impossible but illogical
Without the richness of the world
None of us would exist
So if we already live together
Then shouldn’t we live harmoniously 
Shouldn’t our lives be guided by Love?
Because without Love we will know neither Peace nor Joy

So, in your Heart find the love, and you will find the keys to Joy and Peace
And watch how harmoniously we grow

Respect the person
Open your heart
We are all sacred
We are all One

“I didn’t know!”

  “I didn’t know!”   Don’t get me wrong In a Two Party preferred system  I have no choice but to give preferences to Labor The Coalition are scum But Jacinta Allen, Victorian Premier Claimed in a Truth Telling Commission that she never knew about massacres Of Indigenous people in the state She’d never looked up The history of her country The history of the state she leads She’s Premier! She leads a department that ‘manages Indigenous affairs’ We are currently in the process of negotiating a Treaty What did she think happened to all the Aboriginal people?! They went up to live up the Magic Faraway Tree? “No one told me!” No one ever told me either I fuckin researched It was really easy Took 10 minutes There’s this new thing called the Internet & you search stuff up Like History A subject no longer taught in many schools past year 7 I deduced a lot from observing the place & how allergic we are of looking at ourselves ...

‘The Garden of Love’

  ‘The Garden of Love’ (after William Blake)   Some young punk Tryin to be ‘hard’ Pussyole! with his mate Said “no flowers!” I was holding some wildflowers To put in my vase at the apartment I asked him “why not?” He said nothing That’s right keep walking bish! To bloodclot! I don’t walk around defensive So I’m not quick to attack I’d rather they think about it themselves ‘Without flowers there is no life’ He dreams Try that on for size ‘You say “no!” to flowers & you say “no!” to life’ Echoed on the wind 'You can’t eat money!' Unity & Devision He hears across the wires 'Not that way!... ... why have you forsaken us?' He feels the ancestors   & again I am reminded of Blake’s ‘The Garden of Love’*   Published & Copyright Malachi Doyle 2025.   * The Garden of Love By  William Blake I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen: A Chapel was built in the midst, W...

Though it made me a poet

Though it made me a poet   This is a superior microwave to the last if  everything has to be a competition I guess it does! In the Kafkaesque vortex Where one is trying merely to ask a question Instead one is sold something I’m monastic or have acute anxiety Anxiety is pretty cute Like a decapitated bleeding brain Covered in snails turned carnivore By the wrack & ruin of a child’s innocence The fist in the sister’s face The knife in the wall Did I imagine the latter, dream it or see it? Who threw it? Must have been the bowie Still life goes on So I went to school the next morning & got my mouth taped up For being a chatterbox Such is the life of a privileged 5 year old It made me a poet     Published & Copyright Malachi Doyle 2025.
