Nothing to write I’m

 

Nothing to write I’m broken the pain is too much I could just end it all few would care all the best are gone anyway onwards & upwards I don’t know his cause of death had he just had enough? & then a change I stand Toots & the Maytals’ Country Road comes on I burp & quite enjoy the writing my moods don’t last long a relief I just get a bit sick of it all I need company Karim was a cool guy I liked his style he had plenty used to test cocktails on me & play great music he looked & moved like a rock star he just couldn’t sing he told me I said trust me I can sing well but I reckon you’ve got more of a chance if you can’t people in Australian don’t like singers they struggle with beauty coming from a man anyway the blossoms are on the trees & I forgot how much relief writing brings I’m going through a divorce & some days it feels too much but I have good times between relationships too I’ve gotta remember that I’m not sure about this living in the country malarkey I need a little city glamour a little twinkle I need fucking people around loneliness kills how is it that allow people to wither & die from loneliness where are we as a people? a fuckin disgrace Australia is made up of scum

“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’

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.
