I turned sixty today
Almost
Without permission
Whilst my love left so early
So much younger

My mate
My loves bro has gone too
And
I’m sixty feeling guilty
Maybe
I took their years

It’s a funny space nought to sixty
When it’s empty

Loved ones stolen
Forever

A big gap never filled

A missing Wife
A missing mate
A missing Dad
A missing Uncle
A missing Sister

A broken heart

A Day of Thought

Seventy two virgins waiting
For a dead man

Tragic
Seventy two virgins wasted

Something moved
Where something was not
I braved a march forward
Nothing

I turned and thrashed my arms
My breathing covered all noise
Then my path was blocked
Nothing

Torchlight revealed an empty room
A heartbeat threatened to break my ribs
I turned to a slamming door
Nothing

Something definitely moved
Where something was not
And again I marched straight at it
Nothing

Shaking helped me nought
Something pushed me back
Torchlight failed
Something

Trembling but still aware
I knew
Something moved
Ghost

I was there
Something moved
Where something was not

It’s hangin’?
He’s not far from it
The devil’s clock creeps
In minutes of gold

An announcement by loved ones
A tell all
He’s gone

Day after day now
The weeping and joy

Those who knew
He was not far from it
Will tell you so

His demeanour
Strange indeed
The things he said
Or didn’t say

Relevant
A fatal misunderstanding by the Gods

He’s left us
He’s found the front of the queue

He’s on a train in Flinders Street
Going to work on time
Or

He’s not far from it

Atop the rooves angry over stayers
Accommodation must be burnt to the ground
We expect better than this Australia

All Aboard
The labour party boats to freedom
Is this all you can give us Australia
Is there no more

Embraced by all of our comrades
Dole payments will not meet our expectations forever
From a government that loves us
We need more

Our Julia
Our girl
We love your plan

Helping us hide
Our intentions of evil
Our downright ungrateful spirit
Our desire to use your system

Legally of course
Treat us with respect and we will stay

Forever

Bring our mates and families
To suck you dry

And all the while
Your policy will hide our intentions of evil

Suckers
Racists

Thank god you’re such a generous mob
Thank Allah you’re true blue

We love you Australia but you must change
You must embrace our intentions of evil

I am dying here
A black space a loss of family
A loss of grace

A saddened face
Sexual abuse

Caring is hard for them
now
They never went to hell
Or an institution that brutalised

I cried so often atop the walls
Waiting for family
Wishing lord I was loved

Kumanka you made me learn
But
You taught me to hate often

Too often

It never happened in my youth
I dug my own holes
And crawled out
Of the misery of a kid unloved

I searched forever for a mother
I adored an absent father
And just kept wondering
Who’ll come for me

I was bashed by the bigger boys
I had no brothers at my side
And sisters could do nil
Wards of state are kids forgotten

The years were slow painfully real
For
A forgotten child
With large brick walls to fend

But you wonder forever
In a place like that

Who’ll come for me

You probably do not want to hear that God let you down

He took your brothers
He took your town

Piles of rubble and dust of brown
A buried place under brick gown

As earthquakes go you take the crown

Upon you often they bear down
A city of heroes’ wonderful renown

Finally
A freedom within you
Your heart released

You have let the demon go

Now you will fly my angel
With amazing strength
And be
A free soul to laugh at will

To cry only for the good

Go forward with greatness
Exploring places of love and peace

Your beau awaits’

So much love and pain
Has followed me
So much loss and tragedy
So much losing

Never enough winning

Flying on the edge
Headlong at times into an oncoming train
How I survived is a miracle

Let it be

An
Inglorious take on life
Demons that surround and bellow
To
Give up your tenuous hold
Or
What’s left of it?

Never will I succumb
To the world of do gooders
Afraid of we who speak our minds
Against
Freaks of leftist bullshit education regimes

Let it be you bastards let it be
The world is a finer place without you
