pocahuntis took a drink
of water
from an empty jar of
marmalade
lady marmalade was
playing
next to an empty
conversation
about family movies and moving staircases
made me want to change my status
to be a stranger
amongst nutcases
who watch pocahontus
under hypnosis
change the spelling
and the meaning of
empty to full
it is questionable
but able to use
to fool.

i believe in forgiveness
if a man told me to
but not in regards to truth
or proof for that matter
mark it with laughter
and a sprinkle of ignorance too

change the word from
bully,
to alcohol.
watch the world change
dissolve,
problem solved.

her behaviour is altered
her face painted
skin plucked
neck perfumed
hair bleached
what is beauty to some
is sterile to me
let me see the original
in it's natural form
let me know the original
before she followed all these laws
laws of beauty
that have become standard
laws of conduct
that define our character
behaviour is altered
to check a box
face is painted
but i am not

he does not want to die
that way
but give someone
a gun
instead of a choice
give someone
a blade
instead of some hope
give someone humiliation
instead of friendship
and know you wanted hatred
know you wanted death
before death was your friend
at all
the final ending to an open ending
your call

in the middle of a down pour
with insults for rain drops
death for thunder
ignorance for wet
cold for cold
the leader was a ticking time bomb
and the answer was hiding
in fear
in the middle of a lesson
on the blessings of shame
and the danger of the human race
came the reality of suicide
a life otherwise ok
if not provoked by mind games
a reality still existing today
repeating in a way
that cant be rectified
or changed
a nightmare
on permanent replay

sitting in a bathroom stall
writing graffiti on the wall
this little poet
is leaving an imprint
on a cafe bathroom
in the middle of perth city
i hope you read my words
i hope you understand my meaning
i wish you all the best
on your adventures
in the city
