Photo Suburban Shelter Metaphor




Fears of being swept away
The tide of prophesy, tides of disaster
It threatens to shore and wash us away
It comes in want of what is ours
Without respect and remorse

From behind our wire boundaries
Our concrete barriers
We observe a foretold story as a death foretold
Foretold and fixed

On the horizon, the insurgent amass
We stake our ground and monitor for evidence.
We have drawn the line

They simply can’t get away with it
We won’t embrace their fear at our loss

Too self-centered to make the decision to welcome
Too self-centered to empathize

Our imaginations captured by the outlandish
Our actions enabled by dire predictions
Without compromise
We do not want
We shall protect
Our organic minds subdivided and in-barrier
Littered by immovable objects

And through it all
All of the ifs and buts
It's about
Defiance
The crying wolf

Making comfort from scared people
Enabled by a false sense of security
In it together
Against the visioned enemy
The right dream
The living dead
The panic to protect

Jingili Water Gardens The Fall

  From behind this veil I can see everything and everyone You only see me as a shadow  I sometimes get lost in the camouflage You try to remain civil and courteous Inside, I have no need Outside, you have no idea Here I am on my crafted net In my domain Waiting for you to enter To select the choice Convinced  As unconstrained And Free It is not sufficient. To ransom our future on exponential growth. A future of class division. Where the unprofitable is marginalized. One-off sponsorship You Tube

Are you on the bus

Image
  Are you on the bus? What is your destination? Will you cross the road? What is behind the machine? The privilege of possessing a curious mind and an urge to make sense. When Flinders circumnavigated New Holland. He took Trim. Suitable for service. Faithful and affectionate. So it became. Forging ahead and getting around restrictions. Breaking national protections. Cutting the red tape. To this day Encroachments are made to preserve Australia's prosperity. And maximizing returns, by reorganizing structures. To maintain productivity and continuous growth. Video Remembering what the imperial powers set in place. Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce. The essential values to justify achievement and superiority. To inflict an ideological belief of inferiority. And to punish cultures into subservience and dependency. Masters and soldier ants. Each time we try to free ourselves.  Sovereign power adjusts its grid of discipline. A correction to form a new normal. A nation of docile s

Simulacrum Bark Hut Batwoman

  Bark Hut Batwoman Simulacrum Northern Territory Gothic Shadows Poem Video Bark Hut Inn Bat Woman Arrives Brutally dispossessed. Placed onto a reserve. And promised rations. Detering the minority from becoming the majority. All stand-down when aesthetics enters the room. Imagined realities. Perspective from the darkness. Obsessions, failure, and virtue. Anxieties, fear, and panic. How did we know the world? Our ghosts of opportunity and precious wealth. Our unspeakable and inexpressible horror. To evoke and convey our superior taste.

  When.  Constructing a public identity. Making coherence. Being rational. Displaying self-regulation. There are four selves. Whilst. On the front stage. Broadcasting. Under Constant Surveillance. Privacy becomes a threat. Outsiders are no longer welcome. In Fragmentation. Instability. Multiple realities. The burning of bridges. Work-life is paramount. One-off sponsorship You Tube

Darwin Sidewalk

Image
  Listen for the faint sounds of weeping. To reestablish your direction. The path you are on. Your dreams and visions. The need to feel above. Above the underworld. Fighting each weakness to fail. Each diversion that beckons. Seeking the shortcomings of each perfection. The same street. Is no longer recognizable. It is time to search. For a catalyst.  For an ornament.  For a precious memory. Sacredness and control. Through self-reflection. And thinking about thinking. Too hectic to wade through the complications. The science, values, and imperatives. The social categories in disagreement. We are polarised. By our relationship to reality. By our bond to our peers.  By conflicts that form identity. The kind of person you are. Who you share your values with. Who you are trusted by. Who understands you. Small conversations. That involves acceptable lies.  To get on each other's side. Trying to imagine where we can agree. By avoiding disagreements. And points of view. By skipping over w
