Don’t listen to anything I say about politics

 

Don’t listen to anything I say about politics

 

What do I know about politics?

I find the whole thing distasteful

Others have studied it

More rigorously than I have

But I can’t really relate to them

I believe in the spirit

I’m a poet not a politician

I don’t believe in Utopias

I like bumbling along

Cuts to welfare have damaged Australia

As has the privatization of the universities

Managerialism is ruining schools

As is Hospitals run for profit & not building more

Public housing is a joke

Not building anymore as I’ve seen our population double

The changing of media ownership laws

To duopolies is dangerous

News Corp is too powerful here

But these are policies

As Jim Morrison said

“I’m not talkin about revolution

I’m talkin about havin a good time!”

Dionysius has nothing in common with Apollo

& I’m not a prophet

As I say we need a media & politicians who focus on policies

I don’t believe in solutions

We saw how that works with Hitler

The selling off of public assets has hurt us

I have no interest in politics

But I see things are unbalanced

Like most decisions in life it boils down to Costs Vs Benefits

But costs doesn’t necessarily mean money

Human costs vs human benefits must come first

Afterall you’re representing us

One I don’t like committees

Two I don’t like clubs

Three I don’t trust people who do

Anyway, don’t listen to anything I say about politics

I’m chattin shit like the rest of ya

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
