Portrait of John Bennett in Myanmar

The true value of this portrait is my intent to capture identity in a transient sense. The truth of being in place and time,  meaning, and understanding.

Standing in the hot sun of Mandalay with my black hat on
Dressed in my safe tourist attire 
A visitor of respect 
Not of threat nor of contempt
Far away from the colonial lies written by Kipling
This is how I stood 66th St, Mandalay, Myanmar

Where centuries of knowledge had passed by
Where centuries of knowledge will pass by
Where in this time I was humbled by an opportunity to stand still and be silent.
My short admiration seeing and being in Mandalay

The Inception of Capital

  A Colonialist Storm. Over and Over Again. Start. With void. Then add inception of capital. A Colonialist Storm.  Over and Over Again.  Capitalize on this. Void. The backbone is irony. Of superior culture. A Colonialist Storm.  Over and Over Again.  Decades of.  Credit has dried up. Constituted mania. Reforms, Rescues and Stagnation. The abyss stares back. A Colonialist Storm. Over and Over Again.  Big money is on the line.  Credit has dried up. Countless campaigns and speeches. Deprived. Is that true? The abyss stares back. A Colonialist Storm. Over and Over Again.  Motivation, objectives and requirements.  A finite game of enlightenment. Countless campaigns and speeches. Engaging the unique qualities of the deprived. Making an economic use of the poor.  Investing in the development of commodity culture.  The abyss stares back. A Colonialist Storm. Over and Over Again.  On Entry We presumed our safety within known boundaries. We are in agreeance to temporary oppression. We allow the

Jingili Circumnavigated Apical

Image
  Remembering what the imperial powers set in place. Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce. The essential values 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 subjects. Humanising pest control. From less suffering to more suffering. From pest controller to pest and back again. Forming another correction and resetting our new normal. Who controls our benefactor? According to the Gospel of Wealth. Our pests make our life difficult Miserable We need solutions The door behind the curtain Trying to controlling them From and then to Until domestication becomes Apical dominance One-off sponsorship You Tube

The Abyss Stares Back

Image
  The Rapid Creek Abyss Stares Back From the corruption and scandals of our colonial governments. And the just moral and social evolutions afforded. Far from the lands of despotism and aristocracy. The Empire shaped this land. The Abyss arrived. All those deaths made in silence. The instruments that silenced tongue, histories, and myth. The institutions that maintain silence.  The Rapid Creek Red Moon Eye Lunar malevolence. Fear of being attacked. Fear of being eaten. Cyclical predictions. Growth-based endeavors. An engineered future. An empire.  A sovereign state.  Conquering many territories. Subjecting people to one authority. Many cultures under one kingdom.   One kingdom one god. Subjugation. The wrath of one god. Enforced by law. Abyss The Character Of Storm Ill at ease. Discomfort and distress. Settlers breaking down. Opportunistic men. Of self-interest. In denial of atrocities committed. Structured towards blame-shifting. The rights of lordship. And those who fall outside of Go

Are you on the bus

  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.

Time and Distraction reflection
