From Montpellier Park to the You Yangs


Beautiful sprawling Geelong
A veneer of suburbia each and every way
And all of that granite just 22ks north east
With distinct pyramid like peaks
Making the flat plains so much more

It has not always been this way
Station Peak Flinders Peak
A discovering with sheep
Reporting that the natives were unwilling to work
Waves of squatters drove off custodian resistance

Conflict
Aboriginal massacres
Procedural lack of evidence
Enforcement through denial of representation
Legitimizing colonial  right of way

Never to be officially documented
A systemic off the record ‘land grab’
Plunder and claim
Victim accounts reduced to word of mouth
Forever locked into what can be deemed acceptably plausible

Dogs must now be controlled
There are walking and trial bike trails
Picnic tables and toilet facilities
It is challenging and family-friendly
This, the now unquestionable modern day Australian landscape







Location: Montpellier Park, 8 Westbury Terrace, Highton VIC 3216, Australia

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.

Leadership | Respect and Compromise  Leadership is about building relationships and working together to achieve common goals. It is about understanding and respecting the strengths and weaknesses of others and finding ways to leverage those strengths to create a successful team.

Standing in the World of Business

Image
  As a society, we can change the way businesses operate. Instead of focusing solely on profit and efficiency, we should prioritize humanity's and the environment's well-being. Using terms such as "productivity" often leads to neglecting our social responsibilities and putting personal gain above the greater good. Let us strive for a better future where businesses prioritize justice, compassion, and sustainability above all else.  https://jjfbbennett.taplink.ws/ John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett, is an independent artist.
