Yummy it’s big font!

 

Yummy it’s big font!

 

Yummy it’s big font!

Oh yeah all about interesting things

One never knows the devil’s in the detail

Some people overlook obvious things like swastika forehead tattoos

They tell ya “ya just gotta hear him talk

It’s not what ya think,

He’s got some interesting angles”

Now I’m out in the deep end

& all my parameters have abandoned ship

& I’m stuck in the fringe

& I’m thinking

“not sure this smells right?”

When you’ve lost 12 o’clock

You’re a sitting duck

Or rowing up ship creek

Avec sans paddles

I know that’s not the right French

That’s literalism

That’s the other angle

The word of god in red

& there’s also revisionism

Where the goodies are now the baddies

& there’s cynicism

Can’t trust anyone

Lao Tzu

Trust everyone especially the untrustworthy

I trusted my exwife

She was my anchor

But she abandoned me

There’s also futurism

I wanna fuck a robot

Anyway, all a bit sad

I don’t know myself

Is this the knowing of oneself

When Socrates said “know thyself”

He didn’t say try living with yourself

After years in the black communities

I’m now in the white communities

& left is right

& visy verka

Not sure what this piece is about

Just saying

It’s fucking scary when you’re on shifting sands

The only thing I can trust

Is that newborn I met today

Who smiled with me

& the great City Garage Theatre

From Santa Monica, California

Whose beautiful handling of Ionesco’s The Chairs

Available via YouTube

Restored my faith in America & humanity

Done for the purity of commitment to art

Not to get rich

& I’m thinking that Thatcherism & Reganism

Not only betrayed Australia & Britain & the Majority World

But also betrayed America

& so no matter who wins

The Election

They’re not going to overturn Neo-Liberalism

& that we have to build something

Little guys in every country

So don’t trust Coup Leaders in Military Fatigue Burkina Faso

Social Democracy is the only way

Authoritarianism is not the way

Because once “Peace” is claimed via bloodshed

You’ve gotta live in it

& dictatorships always shut down on human rights

Lock up writers & journalists for 'dissent'

Don’t sell your humanity out for bread

‘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...
