"formers" poems
The farmers are doing it tough Tough, it is hard to understand Why they give money to the farmers and when it comes to helping the homeless they don’t give a **** You see people give all the money to protect the farmers And they don’t want to help the homeless The homeless need more money They are sleeping rough rain hail or shine and if we don’t get rain the farmers want to be helped, mind you the food comes from there and you know what Australians think of Aussie grown and we must sort of think of that but the homeless are swept under the rug by Australians when they ask for a few simple dollars and they get nothing, and you never see a telethon on television for them But you see the formers get the nod, well I suppose farmers are having a tough time but they have a home at night to go to While the homeless have nothing Sorry, I feel strongly about helping homeless people through tough times and I am just saying my piece

they say farmers are doing it tough, but the homeless are doing it tougher, just my opinion
I am the Individual Isness incarnated in this body. I am not the body. I have travelled through many lifetimes in many bodies. always learning learning learning. I have developed nous from my experiences only. I WILL NOT EVER- accept a mind in my head. accept any conditioned identity as being  me. cede control over my brain centres to any mind or groupmind that exists anywhere.. I WILL NOT EVER-- cede control over my brain centres to any conditioned identity or group conditioned identity that exists anywhere. or accept that any other but me,the Individual Isness, using my brain centres,using my brain the way I,the Individual Isness,want to and can do to be in charge of the brain centres in the head of this body that I,the Isness,am incarnated in. I WILL NOT EVER-- be prey to opinion-formers and experts and  pie charts and focus groups and surveys. be manipulated by PR men and women in shiny suits. see Edward Bernays book--Propaganda. be manipulated by GroupMinds into thinking  their way. be taken in by brutal security forces posing as "guardians of peace. respect in any way any member of any military forces anywhere no matter how fancy the uniforms or excuses for ****** they wear.

Always on the search for truth I Hide from it’s Face now and for the first time Because Ignorance is Bliss I wouldn’t dream of editing you And am Glad you Found someone to talk to But every now and then I wish it wasn’t me I know you well enough now to see you won’t be falling for me You won’t be listening for my Heart Beat The Formers You’ve divulged these secrets to me Open as a book I’ll bend the spine to make my crease clear and visible There is one who’s left a lurking Impression I get to see the stains They won’t wash out I think it’s too late I wouldn’t have been enough Enough to make Taintless the mess they’ve left behind Lets pretend that I’m ignorant to what You and I both know

Ignorance is Bliss (Ignorance is Ignorance)
Underneath blankets masked with lions, Sheets twisted and tangeld from different limbs angles; Bodies contorted to fit even the shortest, And a faint moment where breath catches lips and eyelids flicker about... Dreaming of simplistic bliss. There lies a giant and a butterfly, Peacefully sleeping and dancing upon each others minds, Carefully finding a place for the other to occupy. Struggling with their own stories; and own reservations on loves that were never really love at all, Both hesitate taking the bitter, beautiful, wonderful fall. To imagine themselves in such a place, That would take away the past and put a smile on each face, And watch each other grow together, Whilst needing to become much more than just a hidden treasure... She whispers to herself, "I couldn't ask for better" But the sleeping giant dreams, While the small butterfly waits; Each are contemplating how it is they wish to seal their fate. Under galaxies it must have seemed, That it was the mountain or the meadow that brought the two together, While intoxicated by the sun, and anything else they were after. "Nothing else matters" The giant still holds this butterfly tight each and every night, Escaping to a place free of the stinging strife. As fate would rather have the two not question, The butterfly cant help but wonder when the moments they share, Will become a reality over suggestion. When will the sleeping giant lay his armor down to her wings Surrendering the double edged sword he carries right at her feet? When will the butterfly tear down her self-contstructed wall, Forgoing her formers and be willing to risk it all? The butterfly mouths, come back as he gently rolls away, Her whispers hold hope that tomorrow will be the day...

they are already past their peak, at only 18 that's a hard fact to feel. but if you asked them how much they had left, they truly believe they haven't even started yet. but i see decay, gravity, and metabolism are already betraying. miss teen something or other rattles on and on about her ingenious selection of "georgia on my mind", she doesn't come off as a queen, as she twitches with every side glance toward me, as her hands fumble awkwardly, as her ******* appear through her t-shirt, so much for something or other royalty. her friend miss broken arrow of 2007 goes on and on about her fattening *** but her friend reassures her that the judges like that. i can see them better than they see themselves. i see them as stretch marks, as time-battered vocal chords, as wrinkles, as used up objects cast aside like boring toys flung by hungry boys. 50 years from now if they make it that long, they will look into withered mirrors with runny mascara about their eyes and they will wish, that someone would just recognize them for the things they did. i feel so sorry for the formers, never again reaching the height of glory.

formers
Can I decide, Or are we chosen for this life? Does our existence depend on purely the journey we've already taken? Have we earned this time? Or did our formers souls fight, To define an outcome? A future? Securing a path to not get left behind? Do we deserve this right to our human lives? Have we waited for years amongst the shadows For the opportunity to shine? Or have we proven worthy For the chance of a life time? To fulfil our purpose, our service, To make some sort on impact on mankind? At the end of the road, are you happy to go? Or are you regretting? Still dreaming and wishing You could go back, Change, See what you were missing? But It's too late. You've had your chance So you must wait As long as it takes To regain all that time That you Lost Through your life Because you never tried To live.

Persistence is sweat on the brow of passion born from an exercise of faith...and patience. So Dream on. Dream on you backyard entrepreneurs you idea formers, transformers, informers of nay-sayers who would take your dreams away. Put them in their place - your past and face your future with all the passion you can muster. For in those Dreams, those dusty secret, loud, incredible, tired, tested, and scared Dreams lies your potential, and all the potential that ever was. Your future can be your now...or more if your hope can trust in time to safeguard your power and if you believe in the potential of your future. Dream on.

Dreams
Former lovers comes to me. Describing things we still could be. They lay out all their dreams. Without realizing its their fantasy. Cause you give me more than I can ever ask for. Formers lovers loves to spell out. Exactly what they could do for me. But when we were together. They was out chasing for others. They just don't know. You give me more than I could ever need. And there's nothing they can do for me. Cause you give me more than I ever need. Which is love. Which is simplicity. Which is happiness.

You Give Me More
Have you ever Sat next to a Neon yellow-orange pig? Stared into its black eyes, Its thick black eye brows, It's two big black nostrils surrounded By that Neon orange Skin, And wondered why the kitten, Who enters with such Curiosity and sniffage, Cares so much at first and then, Cares so little at all. Certain men Are like This. Certain women, Act Like this. Certain people Are meant to make Certain people Better people. We are the building blocks Of Eachother, one another, everyone. And I can't stand The way my mind thinks and behaves/ Self-desctructs, re-constructs These visions of illusory Reality. I've achieved nothing, Yet, I smile at the clouds who've achieved Everything By Molecularly genetic chance. Aren't we all just mistakes In the gigantic genome experiement of life? Accomplishing...something? You know...I've got a pig roast this Saturday? You know...I think about moving And I think about screaming at strangers? You know...I wonder what it would like to be hit by a 80 mile an hour car? You know I know that all my peers, all my friends, all My closest dearest closer than family people Are utterly miserable with everything and just WANT TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL Exhale But, To Where? We can't all become Three million dollar Junkies, Can we? There is no great state Anymore. It's broken. The ideology Of war Is Dead. Patriotism has turned The country inward when All should be Outward. But then, you make, The hair on the neck, Stand on end. Be in the scene and see The small grains of sand atop Her big toe nail, the sun-reflecting upon the nail, How its pink shade reminds you of Cotton candy no, bubblegum, yes, Bubblegum. These are the minds Of formers past. They've made their trists and tried Their minds toward Life that was both meaningful and Meaningless. What I wish to do is paint with words, Our words, So, When all is finished, I can see, without mirror For a mirrow is a stage and a stage Is too close, as is, the mirror. Our age needs distance to affect Any change. What we've become, What we truly are, From there, From here so to Perhaps see, Where we, Should go, next.

Soaring eyes meet, In a moments fleet. Butterflies & hurricanes, In my heart’s adjacent veins. Then came the whirlwind of emotions, Each with their own set of notions. We lay together cheek to cheek, Dread our formers as our souls squeak. He struck me on my Achilles heel, A fool in love I thought it was real. My pillow is drenched in tears tonight, Meekly wishing we’d reunite. Condemned to the fate of Sisyphus, I carry my heart uphill in a muss. Only to twirl it back up all over, Hoping for you to someday discern my manoeuvre.

Although I burnt my tounge on a latte I'm back again at the cafe. Its Friday and though the clienttile is large they are of one hue your upper sixth formers., with adenoidal soundbites. Should I despair for their world. I be tidy in the ground sleeping under some well chosen bergamots. I recall being young it seems so deliriously long ago but that was before the World  went flat

The ageing half critic
I see the ghosts of my fallen formers animated before me, I have yet to meet the stranger who reads me bedtime stories. Haunting cosmic music lures me from my bed at night, I feel pink static tickle my brain before I take flight. I’m not equipped to handle the energy mania bestows upon my mind: A hypernova blast ripping through my universe, leaving nothing left to find. The bustling sounds- of what once was- draws me downstairs, I hear the kettle boiling, the television blaring, the scraping of chairs. The magical love I feel is compressed, in my chest, into a tiny singularity. If this is what you call crazy, then I don’t want to come back to reality.

A Bipolar Bedtime Story
She puts her Lotion on Like a classically trained French actress It feels good, She says I watch a movie trailer With a man with A fake plastered head. It looks Good. It looks funny. It looks Unique. Then, There are the voices and The unexpected become the expected and No one's English anymore. It's alright. Things shouldn't be what they seem. Every seam Needs to tear to Let the legs Stretch out a bit. But oh' the free form Frost didn't like It much. It's fun to run free, But I can see What he means, the need Of a little structure And form to reveal the frauds, The fakes, the formers, From the Real Thing.
