The River of a Whitefella

 

There is a few of us

White skin folk of this land

But just this few who

Will and can

Communicate effectively

With the black man

And those who can

Find ourselves soon enough

Immersed in the culture

True to this land

Up to our neck

Then mouth

Nose too

But

For those of us

In ancestry the Dreamtime ever anew

Since its our ears we heard the call by

The Aboriginal community

Is always nice enough

To show us

The courtesy

Of letting us in on

The fact that

Us whitefellas

Of any Aboriginal descent at all

Were born already

In over our heads

And when

Able to acknowledge that

We are of this own land’s story

Still breathing

Just

 

 

Who is their own behavioural mind in these conditions of life

 

Who ever picked me

To flush away

Their mind’s own ills

Through

Had better know

That they’ve been

Way to slow

At accounting therein

I ain’t a free

Garbage bin

But one with a charge

That will kill by and large

Through the fact of my own death that is

So whoever it is

Stuck certain things in

This non-usable rubbish bin

Of a self that is me

My own life and my kids

Certain non-tellable things

I have been falsely blamed with

Of criminal minds

Towards children

Best remember forever

That I have ever

Been able to find

Who it is

My Human worth in this

Fact of excellence in

Detecting

Who did

And who is

 

 

Dream Frame

 

Would it be crazy

If I were to believe

In every thing I Dream

For when I Dream Daisies

Then meet in sane places

Sane people are telling me

Today is the time to be

Of mind toward the Daisy

Then how will I know

Have I caused or received

My Dream

Has a simple solution

Among all the world’s indigenous people

That to live accordingly

In the Dreamtime of the Aborigine

Is only to let

That Dream imagery

Which awakens the brain

To the daily needs

Of being a living person

A physical breathing presence

Of carnal bodily function to sustain

Be the very individual imagery

With which the day time

Wakeful consciousness

Is sustained

The image

The frame

 

Of each day our reality

Is each and every

Imagery

That awakens our mind

To bodily need

Is that Daisy cause for a feed?

So better let sleeping babes lie

Let the Elderly be

And get up out of bed

Before you fall back to sleep

And have another image received

Within which

The first become framed

Or is it frames

And why when said

Is it that will we

A blacker people ever want to be

 

 

What Price Money?

 

What happens when

We live in the society in which

Our fare needs a lie

Just to get by

In the society of profit

Driven economy

The lie that cheats

Another out of their labour

Or else the lie to cover

What else might be out way through

To obtain what we need to

Live through this set

Of economic stresses

 

What happens when

The Child

Is accused alike

To any adult

Of the fault in the lie

Spilt by breath

Yet worse yet

That accused even of mind

Is that with no shelter left

The most innocent life

Can only be cognised

As that we did all ill

And when such wrong minded

People still

Abide in their notions

Of what might be able

To be taken as

The lie in which

We might profit from

Aren’t we all equally

Guilty to any in hell

Since not one of us

Can guarantee a well

Of promises kept

To every child

That no child need withstand

Accusations of their mind

 

So test this

Neat frightened hypothesis

With a simple walk down

Any city street

While I tell you

What is it that I meet

At every corner

Some idiot trying

To find any local mind

Receptive to their own enquiry

As to what in the environment

Might have presented greed

That they imagine

Being thereby enabled

To blame their own greed upon

That self same mind

As though their selves so by excused

Yet they forget that all payments

In any real kind

Need be in time

And while I stand daily accused

Of nothing but the accusers own minds

With what they project into mine

As though I might have wanted

But that I

Failing to obtain

What it is that I rejected

But then they projected

As self that if not mine

Then whose and will it not be sin too

For me to ignore the need for

A person to accept

That such self need be believed in

So they accuse me of not being then

Black enough

As though that if not

Taking their ills

Upon myself

I must be whiter than them

And thus ripping them off

So unless I catch them out at

And I have and will continue to

And my own mind in no doubt of

By empirical evidence I collect

And without

Ever myself

Making any accusation yet

The full consequence

Of every cent of profit

Is that the kafr ring

Is only able a money thing

By kaffir attempting

Though the minds of whom is deserving

Constant Forgiveness

Their own self propagation

As though they are to be able

To deliver life

By regarding all believers in Allah

To be already needing hell

Therein will believers

Deliver them

With the only way out being

To stand clean never accusing

So no profiting in money

Can ever have been

What we might have clean

 

Yet in all the dirt of

Who is it the first to

Realise the burden

And so reject the story

Of a profit ridden economy

But only children

And of course

Always worst is

That it is children who

Have first been abused

By the need for money

Whom have had to know first this

So pick yourself up

No time left for falling

We have to get

Into this that

The economy had been appalling

And our lives ever enjoyed better

When forced to be more creative

In finding every way to

Cut out on our spending

 

For need not despair

In the fact of our ware

Being still yet

Dependant upon money

And representations akin

For in the full story

Is the certain fact fully

Recorded of Religion that therein

Of its every tradition

We might know one lesson

That of our self

Will the money flow

And never in love’s path

To know

So what women obtain

Of the dirt’s gain

Might only be furthered

If at risk are children

Thus men are whom earn

Money exchange

For labour

This payment from my brain

Must accept the world yet

In which that minimum extracted

In exchange for our labour

Still leaves us with

The maximum

Of what we have done

Our own labour won

Its worth in our hands yet

 

 

Karma Buisness

 

Thought and deed

I a count for

And eye for an eye

In the same shape

And weight scaled by

Those ably forgiving

 

My sanchit storehouse of Karma

Be finely mastering myself

 

My Pralabdha Karma I Will bear

In dignity

For this resoundingly snakey body

 

And Kriyaman Karma

What fruit will I reap?

All Glory to who held on to

For giving I

Letting me take of

I am able to Forgive

To relieve their Sanchit of intolerable burden

Only by I am able

To accept

Of mistakes

With constant

Good thought

And deed caused mind.

 

 

 

 

What Future Will Bring

 

What future will bring

For who can it sing

The Chair Dance ring

 

There’s a future I see

Though really quite blindly

Excepting my part in

Which might be of timely

Reminding this is

Not yet tomorrow

Yet nor is yesterday

And you being not me

Might not see it this way

But these are some parts

Of a story in play

Of the Grace of today

In which australia takes a part

Upon a world stage

 

Inside a big top

A tent that’s rent

Is well paid up

There is a tree

On a stage

With a man of some age

An Artist

Of the sort belonging

To traditional setting

An Aboriginal alone

So seemingly

While gradually

On that large stage

The audience notice

Life is abuzzing

With abundance of nature

And its people

Barely discernable

From the trees

 

The audience all pass

Some test or another

For who needs to be there for their father

The state if round

A large Bora ring ground

But off in the distance

The distance of mind tricks

Is a stage smaller

No less magic

Yet poorer

With only a chair

 

The old man is telling

A little gathering audience

Of Aborigines and animals

Bees and birds and Magi

He is saying just you see

This is my story

About that mob over there

With the chair

The mob who gone and lost

Life’s real fare

 

Then wait just a minute

What is that in it

The smaller state with the chair

Suddenly run over with fun

Funny stares

OF a circus performance

The clowns funny faces

And ring masters graces

Messing all over every place is

The circus of world in disgrace

Begging of us

To join in with its lot

And distracting the audience

A way from our Dreamtime plot

 

Into the market

They’ve had set up over there

It’s a medieval square

Glorifying crusading

While not yet resolved of

Medieval jousts against Islam

In bonnets and pouts

Shysters and Tricksters

In acrobatic flicks do

While Aborigines considering

This Dreaming anomoli

Start practising telling the

Stories of how

It is that we might have to consider

Correcting that circus affair

 

So the story unfolds

Of an invasion

In which Aborigines

Sort out lifes smaller mercies

Into three well defined

Stitches in time

Through of yours to three of mine

 

There are those who join in

With almost anything

Those who turn in

To plants animals and chairs

Ants too somebody stares

But birds of a feather

And the acrobats have good weather

To fly over those who stay down

On the ground

And a war to compare

 

The joiners retire

To the far stage in the mire

Of the spoils of invasion

There to try to desire

Of what might be the way to

Recycle the situation

Until finding that learning

Circus performing

Was the best tool to employ

 

While those who turn their self in

To an animal dressing

Just keep on transforming

Re-becoming Human

Then in every transformation

Back into nature

Turn a few more of the circus

Gradually so performing

And slowly perhaps

Rejoining

 

While the warriors

Why they are always right there

In the midst of the circus

And everywhere

The circus neatly adapts

To their sabotage traps

As though self spawned

By their performance barge torn

By the rent of time absorbing

Whose time to pay who is today

All being counted daily owing away

 

So gradually more a more

Of the circus performers

Caught up with warriors

Go down by their own conscience

Turning into animals

Of all sorts of strange types

Is just like the Ekka’s delight

And regularly returning

In plant form

Few as chairs

Are the joiners

A ready to fight

In circus tents long torn

 

Since to save the forests

We each have to teach

The Circus

How to grow green hair

So gradually

This whole ballet

Is turning into

A great and larger forest

Full of the flowers and fruits of

The birds and bees love

Until all that is left

Below and above

Is a man

What Future Will Bring

 

What future will bring

For who can it sing

The Chair Dance ring

A few good chairs

A dance a piece

And a Trapeze

Devil’s sticks if you please

With the audience by now long

Become birds

Silently watching

The performers a forest

And a song lingering on

 

 

Sprocket’s Of Knowledge

 

Sprockets of knowledge

Make for too tasty porrige

Volumes of spill soon

Will find your mind room

To collect puddles

And shovel

Up

Love for Eternity

But

Get that sprocket holding of

The best of your toilage for

To know is

To know that

Responsibly so

Is knowledge effective

In any directive

And porrige tastes best

When you’ve shovelled up

Lost puddles of the spilt milk of love

Newly now found

In a tummy round

Might have forgot

But for the sprocket

Holding love bound

 

 

Perniciously Weird to Be

 

Something weird

Is happening to me

Something weird

Too

“Wh”

“i”

“E”

“rrr”

“dh”

Too see

A pernicious frightful

Too silly

Something that might likely

Be really too frightening

For too often

Acknowledging

Too weird indeed

All around this word

Pernicious

Is something

And everything

Having its same meaning need

Of every permutation

Its pernicious fatality

Is just that reality

Exists and therefore this

To be pernickity

As to what this wierdness is

Exists the fact of

God’s awe – full Grace

I bow my head it its face

For Love is true with

The mystery of every place

This pernicious

Wierdness

Must I daily face

Is the simplicity

Of what we

All begin to experience

That in the past

As we are accustomed

Knowing will fire

Had enabling factors

Of finding way through

This track and gate to

A less painful fate do

Out around past throughout

This pernickity reality

Is a pernicious blast

In every permutation of how the past

Adds up into

The future

We all need live through

Is that when we

Now find that fire key

Only end stories can be

When finding Angels through Death

Who show us the rest

Of what in future

Life will be

Because the fire of reality

In this time now we see

Is a fire no more possibly dire

Since never without

Death’s fact to need

Is just simply too weird

For many of us true believers

In life begun in eternity

Yet coping we help with the stoking

Until in revolting realised we

That other mob had always this job

But now so do we

So what can it mean

And who is being decent to me

Until weird becomes

Less of the fun or the drugs

But rather just simply

Experienced regularly

In daily reality

Weird strange and vague seemingly

Yet undeniably

Immutable in me

The only roof

Left over

Life’s every truth

I am nothing without

In Jesus

Follow in Eternity

Through death only

Finding the

Eternal resurrection key

Be elementally

Evolutionary

Our wood be

Fire forming wood sureing

For Earth that this should

Mend the air

Before water anywhere

For can it really be

That space where

Ozone depletion had to be detected

Was close to we

Caused by

Other Earth people’s sighs

Of defaming and blaming

Or is this that them I

And what it is we can see

No less weird of us

Than for them to be

To live through this

Time now existing

Into reality

So take that fire

Might never more be hired

As an easy shower

Of the faults upon

Any one

Except our own power

To effect

A consequence

Since but how

Have we

Accounted it

As it was once

We could find our

Reconciling opposites

Short of needing

To bear with

Thought of our death

But when now

Earth needs us

Every fire has how

We need

To be

Is through death only

To see

The fact of

God’s awe full Grace

I stand here

Bowing my head in its face

Set standing

Am sure in

Reality

No spin

Just that weird it is

To yet be

The perniciously

Weirdness

That is simply

The way through

Itself into reality
