Acceptance/exceptance

I never wanna go shopping with you for things for the house

I never want you to wear business clothes

I never want you to spend hundreds on skin products

I never want to hear you say you’re better than anyone else

I want you to be yourself

& there’ll always be acceptance

As long as it’s in good faith

You could be a rocker

You could be electro

You could dance the disco

I will dance along

Pretty simple

Like grade 6

Let’s not get lost to the capitalist dream

Lets climb trees

In a very unorthodox way

In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

Love Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed Published ...
