Hole in the Wall: Pool Time



Hole in the Wall: Pool Time
I wanted to fly to another planet, but I first built this swimming pool.
My dreams just started getting away from me, and then I let them go.

In the heat of the day, I plunge into my pool.
My refreshing water.
I own it. I work for it.
When I'm tired of my thoughts I submerge into it.
When I'm confused and in panic, I fall gently into it.
I emerge feeling invigorated and comforted.
Continuation seems so easy once and only after submerging in my cool clear water.

My dreams to transform my life never eventuated.
I knew it once, when  I was promised myself to achieve.
I could aspire.
You never fail when you attempt to chase.

Somewhere I needed to reconcile between the obtainable haves and impossible wants.
Have I succumbed to failed by fabricating my mediocrity prison of pleasure?
Am I floating in falsehood
Am I wallowing in water of hindrance?
I built and tender to this my own 3-meter submersion of comfort.

In my moment before death, will my pool be there in easy memory?
Will it be replaced by morphine?
Will regrets of attainment hound me?.
Will I feel satisfied?
Will I discover what I was born for?

Whilst under water nothing eventuates.
I feel released.
Whilst under water the world passes me by.
I can just watch.
I feel contented.
I am no longer the wonder.
I am just here wanting to feel good.
In happiness for the now and in happiness for the tomorrow.

Godin Connectedness

Godin Connectedness  We argued with the vengeance from poorly informed memory. Straight from the loss to blame. For whatever reason it perpetuated justification. Of construeded loss,  from the need to self victimise. To the need of claiming nothing in particular. It was the battle to ingrain and embellish memory. In so, we tore each other apart and to feed individual right. Our eternal want to be known as right. The want for immediate anger to surface, rant and to glorify our past glories of being wronged. And then we rested exhausted.

Robodebt Persona

Image
 Script "The Robodebt system represents a classic example of the dangers of implementing top-down, bureaucratic solutions that neglect the complexity of individual human lives. Such a flawed and heartless system has caused immense harm to many people's lives, who were falsely accused of owing debts and suffered the consequences of the government's careless actions. The use of automated systems without proper oversight and accountability can lead to severe injustices and undermine the principles of individual responsibility and dignity. It is crucial to learn from such mistakes and work towards creating more compassionate and effective policies that respect each person's unique circumstances. The recent settlement of the class-action lawsuit over the Robodebt is a step in the right direction. Still, we must remain vigilant and critical of any system that threatens the values of fairness and justice." Robodebt Persona Celeste is a positioned-based artistic statement

RoboDebt SCOMO I had great faith

Image
  We're very confident in the legal basis for this, the integrity of the system, and the system's capacity to deal with any issues raised. In 2016, the Australian government introduced the Robodebt system to collect welfare overpayments, falsely accusing many of owing debts and causing immense harm to innocent lives. The system lacked oversight, accountability, and compassion, generating debt notices without considering individual circumstances, leading to widespread public outcry. Citizens united in resistance through a class action lawsuit to hold those in power accountable and seek justice, learning the importance of creating compassionate policies. The Robodebt served as a warning that powerful automated systems lacking compassion and accountability could lead to great harm.  Resistance through class action led to a vital victory, forcing the government to compensate those affected. The settlement was a step in the right direction, but the people remained vigilant against a

When I seek shelter

  When I seek shelter This Branch Orange Landscape NFT Poem When I seek shelter. I am anxious. Panicked by the cacophony of advice. From all those loaded up. With their wheelbarrows and bags of emotional weight. I am delayed and postponed. My dreams ruined. Locked into procrastination. I the belittled consumer. Attached to every cause. Designed by those more intelligent than me. And then I downloaded a new app. Now I am mindful. In my cage.

The Story Bridge Branch

The Story Bridge Branch Burden and Enlightenment NFT Vignette It was breathtaking to see the sun rise over Story Bridge. Yet, I couldn't help but be buried in my thoughts as I walked through the deserted alleyways. My soul was burdened by depression and anxiety, and the suggestions of others simply made things worse. I had the impression that I was stuck pushing a wheelbarrow full of emotional baggage. My own concerns and doubts were causing me to delay and postpone my aspirations. Bouts of procrastination and hopelessness prevented me from realising my full potential. So I identified with every cause that offered relief because I felt like an important person. But then I came across a motivational transcript without a title that promised to guide me towards inner tranquillity and contentment. Instead, I experienced a change in myself as I read the lines. My mental fog started to lift, and I began to perceive the world differently. I walked through the busy streets. The life and vi
