Inception and intersection of human life are diverse. We are ushered as a blank canvas to the shores of life. Socialised with values, beliefs and cultures. Our acclimatised acculturation. Submerged in the swampy lowlands each sunk and wandering through and through.
This morning I woke and left my house...... looked up to the horizons of nature. And there it was.... a revolving camera smiling at each stride I take... following me and taunting me. Unreserved in institutions, submerged in the ever decaying social structures.
Why do we do what we do everyday?
Is it part of the human processes and functions?
To exist and be absolutely absent but present. I fret, then I smile. Trying to join the puzzles in the mazes. Ever questioning if I am here to learn or to be polluted by bureaucracy.
Lets call for an assembly, announce that the town is dead. Yet, its people are gasping, breathing to fill their lives with a new paradigm. Look at me all cyanosed , the blueness of the dying veins... sunk in the redistribution and social panic. Re-engaged in the demoralised democracy. Look at me asking....
What is the meaning of life?

summer reigns here
and for us fifteen degrees is a heat wave
acclimatised as we are so far north.
Its so gently quiet after the long stormy dark months
really a timeless place filled with light
almost twenty four seven
where days are weeks and weeks months
and life strolls hand in hand, a tapestry of love.

filled with chemicals
and
they like to call it
clinical
trials.
Peeled away
they make me
kneel to pray
to
some lesser god
as if I failed some test
and where's the greater good?
I become (eventually)
acclimatised to this
brutality,
de-sensitised and
all morality
flees.
Who is culpable?
This photograph,
a memory
makes me laugh or cry,
but a memory indeed
indexed will feed
my thoughts.

Skinny dark and handsome,
Mucky-bright and troublesome,
Giddy, and full of fun,
Dusty foot, Desert child
Half naked, running wild.
Then, came the move
Tame the lion, city life
Schooling, for a better life.
Then horror,
with a volley and crackle
And thunder,
Tribal feud, tearing hearts asunder
Time to flee
Back of a Hilux jumping borders,
Refugees,
A childhood memory
Seen as mean by me
From foot to camel to truck to plane
Safety has been ascertained
Acclimatised and mingled into
This here foreign place.
Years have passed,
Life has changed,
Wounds have healed,
and I’m no longer mean,
I am me.
