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

‘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...

'Punk' Sociology (Participant Observation)

  'Punk' Sociology (Participant Observation)   I’m chilling back at home, now Needed a spliff This is in no way definitive I couldn’t see quite a lot even though I was near the front Once things came to a stand off I didn’t see much of ‘the enemy’ We were prevented from seeing one another Just the guttural roars of “BOO!” from the blood lusters at their front I saw the name of Jesus on a sign Which made about as much sense as the lot of nonsense Man I’d taken Eucharist in the morning prior Of a divided people Their upside down Aussie flags turned up the right way just after we were turned back down Collins St from the corner of Elizabeth Street & the capsicum spray – not too bad Young blokes love a stoush As do female inquisitors The Safran thing strange After his legendary decades & he was ‘shot down’ as a ‘Zionist’ for taking on the Fascists with his dynamic holy wit Very strange I grew up with partition Nothing intellectual about it It’s IN you Thoug...
