What does Ai Wei Wei Say?

“Never Sorry”

Well, he’s got bigger balls than me

 

He’s the reason I started this blog malarkey

Which is what good people with wooden ears sometimes call me

 

It’s ok

Just call me Mal

It’s an ethnic name

One of my few distinguishing features

A white guy

I was allowed to pass

Largely invisible for the first 35 years of my life

Til I found my voice

 

As the Millwall support told me

You’ll be right, Mal

If you just don’t open your mouth

 

Hard for a poet

 

Blah blur blah malaka fuck!$%$($%IU%*OGUL

 

What I really wanna talk about

Is the hatchet job being done on the referendum push

 

Dutton clearly has no morals

Opposing this

 

But Albanese

Hasn’t been upfront about what a constitution is

& why a permanently enshrined Indigenous voice on Indigenous issues is crucial

 

Else one party introduces a body

Only for the other to axe it a few years later

& no assistance is ever provided to the rightful owners of the land

 

All to please the mining companies who want carte blanche to rape the whole middle and top end and west of the continent

Where the blacks mainly live and suffer 3rd world conditions in a first world country

Plus institionalised racism

& thuggery from those protecting the law

 

PS

I got no beef with police

I’m a public servant too

And if they’re protecting Democracy

As they’re sworn to do

It’s good times

 

But yunno

People are not always so ethical

 

In any walk of life

 

So you don’t get off the hook either

Buddy!

 

Chardonnay socialists

Don’t make me spit on the grass

 

What dismays me

Is that so called ‘radical’ academics in this country

Have never heard of the IPA

(Institute of Public AFFAIRS)

And who funds them

 

& which media stars are paid for by them

 

What the heck!

What kind of coercive situation

Is we in?

 

Prison culture after 250 years still

Finger to the lips

Like the Soviets

 

What were we opposing

Then?

 

The right nor the left here

Are candid

 

How can we claim to love Democracy

Under such conditions?

--

 

DH Lawrence wrote Kangaroo.

If you are too woke to read it

Aka pig lazy

Watch the film

& don’t text all through it.

 

It’s about your country.

 

Grow up

& pay attention.

 

Else I’ll be playing lawnbowls

& watching the grass grow…

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Anagram Schizophrenia In a Numbing Society/Oppression

  Anagram Schizophrenia In a Numbing Society/Oppression   This has gotta come off this band aid’s gotta come off. I’m exhausted. After 52 years of struggle. “Bent out of shape by society’s pliers” to borrow from Dylan. Violence in the womb. Violence from birth. Violence in school. Going to live in the place with the highest murder rate in Europe. Living in a flophouse there. Putting out fires. Literally & figuratively. The literal one that saved everyone’s life in that house. 10 people's lives I saved. Being around generally. Being around. Getting to know people at the bottom. Getting to know people on the ‘wrong side’ of the law Getting to know people on the ‘right side’ Who all jammed together. Rival gang members at my house. Being given a black bandana. A 'hood pass'. Protecting a teenage boy being beaten up by his 6ft 6 Russian stepfather. You know… Friends getting beaten up Friends getting killed   Then what was...
