BABYLON’S SONG

The Count In Me

 

Well of course

But the case may be

We’ve always had

Another mechanism than that you see

 

For in measure of accountability

One without relying upon

How we appear to be

More than is real to belong

And more than you no not wrong

Thus yet

Not even in words be

This reality

Confounded by mistakes upon why

Real accountability

Is as it is no bind

Unable to find

No tear unable to cry

No life left too dry

Will that you my

Way to rely

Upon this count made high

For to fear with its style

Of facing in reputations try

That you might land of by

Having wrongly assumed of

That exact in another was

As reason to accuse and blame of

Being your own behaviour

Only imagined excused upon

Was never no way to escape

The real retribution of fate

Being no less upon

What we’ve all dreamed well and long

With that to the end of

And yet but belong

Be it far from

Real meaning to go wrong

When words and appearance

But minor facts of clearance

 

 

Two Bob

 

Tell me

After I win

What was meant to begin

And which win at trial

Was then when you sang

After a while

Need I

Excavate the style

Of Bob being some uncle

Who’s failed

But smiles

Since for all he has failed

Nobody believes in

His win

This being in

Among and belonging

Of the strongest song running

Might the way of the first

Prove ever no worse

But that he heard of

The win of the forth

Through doors opened kindly

But by none too wisely

When all doors were mine and

Of he whose light shines at

The end of the tunnel

That points us to life when

Our keys are well read

Our locks greased and oiled

And nobody able to spoil

The worth of our toil

This win will be his when

Young Bob proves his bread

With this on his head

 

 

Babylon’s Society

 

It is my sanity to know

Whatever they’ve done was too slow

For faster I am

That what they can

Prevent me from having known

 

So while ever they have

Defined me lacking savvy

As with a real disability

All they did was a cover song

Within which I thrive strong

 

While a drug user they’ve called me

Why it’s nothing but their own envy

Of what they truly know really

That my strength defies their certainty

For as strong as I am is that curtain at

 

And of the prostitute they accused that

Might my behaviour belie the real fact

For they’ll never deny what they did to me

Of forcing me into her story

This but a taste of Babylon’s glory

 

It’ll all work out without their knowledge

If only I am let live on in poverty

But who are they I refer to that

This poetry is my real fact

Be no other than the most bizarre story

 

Of Canberra Gurdjieff Society fat

Might it ever be in real glory

Babylon’s own true society

Is in Spencer-Smart’s aftermath ever lonely

And there never was no crime in that

 

 

But

 

Being like

This is a

Set up

(but)

 

One city

One structure

One wart on the brain

No shame

Money’s game

Of my fame

To the lame

Not whose blame

This tame

One same

Story plain

And any terrain

Firm brained

Sand but

Shell’s fact

Is this that

Glass had

Clay at

But wood re-grows

No loss to those

Whose lives haven’t known

This day way shown
