An Australian funeral 2024

 An Australian funeral 2024

Urn scattering

Irish ashes

Australian Irish son

Australian Jamaican chief mourner

Pelicans present

The visiting witnesses:

Love

Random assortment of fishermen

Seagulls both native & non

Boaties hosing off their hulls

Nice waving guy

Frenchman who told strange story

Retiring to Funk & Reggae

Herb (Sinsemilla) white rum & okra steamed with salt

Getting deep

Riffing on Tripping

Still despite the fact that I’m tripping you’re tripping they’re tripping

Tripping

Tripping

He’s tripping

She’s tripping

They’re tripping

You’re tripping 

Tripping 

It’s wild

We’re tripping man

etc

Tripping

I’m tripping

I tell ya

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1742)

“Man is born free

Yet everywhere in chains”

This IS a WELL established fact

Yet still the ignorant are in power

& not solely

Still people pull the chains to their conditionally adjusted above maximul pull

You’re tripping 

They’re tripping 

I’m tripping…

Chief Mourner unable to tell story

Son cackling like a hyena 

Angry neighbour on hands free 

Chief mourner recovers his flow

“I ain’t mad at you”

Delivers vocal trip drop

Coming in hot hot hot

Easy

Rest In Power

Seamus Doyle!

God bless, Dad

“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.
