“Don’t choke”/Circular breathing

 

“Don’t choke”/Circular breathing

 

“…greed will eventually consume itself:

 

cometh the desert winds

of change…” – Uncle Kev Carmody

 

TOO RAW FOR THE DIVERSITY CROWD

YOUTH VICTIM BLAME LIKE BAD FAITH

HOW CAN U BE AN ATHEIST

WHEN U DON’T KNOW WHAT GOD IS?

 

Ethics:

A victim of fashion

How do we avoid being performative

To narcissists without memory of Echo, as Rhath knows

Some people just get mad at ya

For being

& doing: “the right action comes of itself own course” (Lao Tzu)

Isn’t that what unity & inclusion in ‘diversity’ is about?

& choose ur approach more carefully

When ur conceited

WHAT IS!

IS MORE IMPORTANT

THAN WHAT

ISN’T!

 

“boundraarz”

If someone got mad

I think “fair play!”

Coz someone attempted suicide

So YES, IT’S A BIT INTENSE AT OUR TABLE!!!

What the fuck?

When do we ever talk about suicide

& preventing it

& how we’re all culpable

That someone can feel unloved

 

Do others really TAKE THEMSELVES THAT SERIOUSLY/SELFISH?

That they dob on us on being TOO INTENSE/TOO RAW?!

Some do

I do sometimes too

But my protest against torture

Is living DEFIANTLY, bravely

WITH & FOR OTHERS!!!

 

Of course as Tom Petty sings

“EVEN THE LOSERS GET LUCKY SOMETIMES”

I don’t know mate

I won the fuckin lottery being here

Break bread

Share wine

“DON’T BOGART THAT JOINT”

Share me shisha

Let’s have a game of pool

As “Good man, Pat”

Said about mum’s Irish dancing (State Champion 1950s)

“Sure, you’ve got the footwork of a Pakistani”

(you understand Pakistani cricketers are good players of spin

Coz they use their feet

As Salim Malik

Before he was muzzled

I’M NOT A FOLLOWER OF MAMMON

& yet we all are except the

“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’

  ‘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...

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.
