Last night 🎶🎸
We are leaving but it's hard to go
To my land where #Murdoch rules the waves, the waves, the waves
Political hypocrisy & banality have their way
The homeless & the poor are told that ' resilience' is the way
The middle class shrinks everyday
Gigged away,away🎶/2
The Bankers have it all their way
The Uber Rich want you on two dollars an hour
Everyday it's bullshit showers
When you ask, ask ask away
Some troll jumps in your way
Selling the lies that it's good to die for 🇦🇺🇬🇧and the US of A.
Because that is the Gallipoli way
We buy subs/3
That are 30 years away
To protect trade routes from our major trading partner🎶
We are leaving but it's hard to go
& save utility costs whilst the monies flow, to tax havens galore
And the kids haven't got a chance
To buy a home for their families coz Austrack is loopholed/3
Where the US styled Christo Fascists sell the prosperity gospel
The GG wife's sings and every opportunity
But we lock up our whistle blowers, blowers blowers
Where the victims of Clergy and Scouts have to fight for a voice
The aged in care get done by malnutrition & profiteers/4
The job service providers punish the unemployed
Whilst unemployment is factored in to keep the wages so low, so low, so low 🎶
The honourables play in the prayer room yet attack those different every day 🎵
Countless kids go hungry each day
Denied opportunity & their day
/5
Oh baby it's hard to leave
The blokes that have been to Bali and back know Asia better than the Asians themselves
Oh darling, the clever country is dead
Whilst #SkyNews gets into your head & the #NBN was fkd from the start
So I could continue my song
But I 'm feeling my pain/6
I got wool blankets to hand out
Watch my neighbour's at the Food Bank make ends meet.
So I will be back, I no longer give a rats if some MP has an overblown sense of entitlement, ment , ment.
The political dead wood has to go
Thats my reason for this song 🎶 @AusIndiMedia

Let me Love you
Allow me to make you smile, to bring that sparkle to your eyes
Allow yourself to remember what you where before others tried to shape, control you
Let us allow one another to be gentle, loving and kind in all things
Finding passion and inspiration in /2
each other’s heartbeat
Let us not judge one another for the follies of others that made us suffer
Allow us to grow into each new day, re-born learning to trust each other
That trust, so precious; the keystone to all relationships
Despoiled by those who have no love /3
in them, yet are skilled with words
And timely acts to belittle the very being that you are
Let us walk hand in hand, feeling the new day against our skin
There is still time, we will make time or find it
Let me Love you for who you are
Love me for that which I am, and /4
Years ago I came across a box of letters written by a young man who had left Australia to fight in the Great War, the War to end all wars, WWI. The box also contained his leather wallet of sorts, stained with his blood. He had written at every opportunity, his concern for his /2
family, his ' Mum' and siblings shining bright throughout the darkness he experienced.
He mentions people whom he could not meet because they had been killed. He fought and died in Gallipoli. The telegram was short. In time his mother received the bronze plaque that was to be /3
placed on the headstone, though it never was. His family received his medals and printed certificates with printed signatures.
His body was never recovered and his mother toured the Middle East following his footsteps, I think, in an attempt to connect with him.
His letters /4
The Failed State
When the Nation State abrogates its responsibility to Private Corporations. When Hospitals , Prisons and Police Services become infested with the spirit of 'Profit at all Cost '. When Government Activities are hidden in Commercial in Confidence Agreements , /2
.. Infra-Structure such as Communications , Water , Power , Transport are prostituted to the bidding of so called Share Holders . When every Utility Bill has to be carefully scrutinized, the cost of living escalates beyond that which is reasonable for the ordinary person and /3
and simple questions meet with a wall of dumb insolence ....
At that point I have to question ......HOW FAR CAN WE TRUST OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ? We have diluted the criminal justice system by the creation of so many other investigative non performing agencies, ombudsmen etc. /4
Observations after Battles
Avoid Wars, trade well and fairly so that all parties are satisfied.
Few Wars are fought for any other reason than to seize another’s assets or that which is used to create those things which are valued.
Wars will by their very action lead to /2
wars, this being the nature of men and the nature of those that often seek to lead men. It is best to leave peasants working the fields and supporting their families than to make them into warriors and deprive the Country of those that produce things valued by all.
Wars ../3
...produce nothing and are costly to the public purse and a drain on the peasants, who gain little.
It is better to Trade and Trade well, as this removes the desire to fight wars and yet satisfies the urge to overcome another. In battle overcoming another means death, /4
Might be time to tweak the 10 Commandments - maybe there were some bits missed in the many translations ! 1) Thou shall not make war for profit . 2) Thou shall communicate and leave open all channels of communication between peoples .

3) Though shall not kill in the name of they Creator . Any killing that you do is your killing . 4) Though shall not bear false witness against thy family , thy friends or people that thou hast not met , appear different to you or sinply displease you. 4/
5) Thou shall not covet thy brothers or sisters relationships nor offer false inducements to destroy relationships ! 6) Thou shall not claim to be speaking on behalf of the divine , for even at the best of times thou art human and seriously flawed and judgemental . /5
Dreamers
We are the dreamers of dreams, the spirits that soar at night
Those dreams offering versions of things yet to come
Reflecting on actions and deeds that were done
The dreams that lead forward to a personal light
One where ones spirit or soul takes free flight
/2
Those dreams of green fields and flowers anew
The melting of ice and the mountains that moved
The dreams of warm sunlight that nourishes life
The dreams of touch that sets all aright
The dreamers of dreams, the stories of old to new now unfold
/3
As old as the stars yet as young as the buds
The words seek expression and visions unfold
The dreamers of old meeting the dreamers of the now
Now dreaming or waking or in the between
Not knowing the difference between that which is seen
