On being scared — Death to the Tyrants — “Blessed are the Peace Makers, for they shall SEE God!”

 

I’m scared I’m dying

But the Kafkaresque internet

I wanna talk in the flesh


58 years sounds ok



Before then,


I wanna make an oil painting

I want my complete poems & music in plastic form

left to either the State or the World or the World’s poor!

I house a homeless man —

“not a good look”

A holiday

& get laid once more


Then pass the remains

onto the next generation



To pass on to the future generations


I feel imprisoned here


I’ve fought to be free all my life



They taped my mouth up when I was an abused 5 year old

on stolen genocidal land


I’ve had enough


People gate me like they hated Monet


The nigga on your calendar


I’ve had enough


Firing squad or hunger strike


Take your pick Mammon


I will live on


In all of you


I hope you’ll remember your dreams


“In dreams begin responsibilties”



For Bobby Sands & someone I knew well…


Still they won’t get it…


But the children will call out my name…


“Mal”


& in some millennia


We’ll finally see a way out off the wheel of death:


FREEDOM!

‘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?'

'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...
