In hope of a nice trip

 In hope of a nice trip


(Tripping)


Do your job

& don’t demand I follow your ideas

Economics & Politics are different

Beasts

As bad as one another 

But your job is to house first of all

Not via mortgage or rent

A human fuckin right

We’re not objects

You cannot know my mind

All you can is deduce from affects

With conjecture about affects

Which are in fact not affects

But in fact expressions

Of living culture 

Which you are to respect 

While we respect others

Including awkward behaviour 

& seek understanding

Take your time

Oh yeah Dutton

You’re a public servant 

Serve the people 


For example 

Taking care as you do so

As we are required 

By law

TO help the homeless 


Fuckin hell Albo

Talking about talking

Isn’t respectfully 

Helping the homeless 

It’s watching & chatting shit

Doesn’t mean you’re the worst

No Dutton takes the cuffs for that


We sit down enough 

Coz we’re beaten down


I like the way Tamils fry fish

They’ve worked it out


Woolworths

Hires 2, sometime’s 3 express checkout people 

For the whole of Carlton 

& makes massive profits

Tax lieing

Like greedy people & their accountants

Still people 

But Fuck!

You’re punishing us for our custom

& no one complains 

Coz you know you’ll get ratted on

“Rat race Rat Race

Some are big rats

Some a small rats

Rat Race Rat Race

..,

Somma big man

Somma hooligan ,,,” (Bob Marley)


No sun is shining in my day

Coz you can’t see it 

From my cell

But you can 

When I stand under the sky

“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 ...

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...

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.
