My God what transactions transpire in toilets, in nightclubs, in cities
In the early hours of a weekend!
I’ve never understood the doing it in the toilet thing…
Walking in on two folks going for it… Oh ‘scuse me
Focus on the pretty signet ring of the hairy hand, not the hairy butt…
Hey isn’t this the ladies?
You retreat accompanied by a percussion of snorts, sighs, grunts and long inhalations
Only to turn to meet Drug dealer on the Early Shift!
Hey you wanna get on it? What’s your thing?
Got some excellent caps, pure MDMA (yea right) Will get you in the zone,
Make you fly Keep you high, ‘til 9-5 comes round again!
Sure I’ll take two you say. Two? Puh! With shit this good you’d best take four
Let’s get loose, let’s share the love on the dance floor! OK!
But as soon as you are out the door… a man with a badge!
Entrapment sees you three months later dealing with the law
Your lawyer says; Stay cool, express remorse, it’s your first time of course.
Didn’t I see you there that night? You say. Not me, says he
Oh but you’re one lucky punter ‘cos the judge is gay and likes to party
Just like you, wink wink. I’m not gay, you say, and party once a year, it’s a treat! Really? Says your hardworking lawyer thinking on his feet
I’ll see if I can get you with the family guy!
After a barrage of legalese the judge fixes you with the obligatory steely eye…
I can see you’re clean, been going through hard times,
How ‘bout you pay the fine And move on…
but you’re transfixed by the signet ring your judge is wearing
Last time you saw it slammed against a cold tile wall!
Something snaps inside …
Your Honour, I work, pay my taxes, I barely drink, I’ve raised a family
Now I think it’s time to speak the truth:
I only have remorse that I was caught!
And in the words of that doyenne of teen pop wisdom, Lily Allen
Everybody is at it! Why not legalize the lot?
Let’s face it human beings will get themselves addicted to any old thing
Whether prescription, illegal or some other nefarious sin!
Let’s raise the bar, let’s expand the free market even more
We already consume GMO, why not tamper with everything that goes in
Freedom to indulge, freedom to explore the heights of being …
A chemically modified human being!
So you like Prozac with your cornflakes
Valium with your afternoon tipple, Viagra at night!
You need to go shopping every day to feel that you are worth something!
Let the youth go tripping in the woods… Communing with nature
Or the monsters in their mind!
Forget drug testing; let it be a free for all!
Go The NRL …
Roosters cranked up on crystal meth!
Dragons inhaling coke!
All bought down with GBH!
Then … They won’t get into trouble at the after party!
Swimmers with bionic lungs and just the right amount of speed!
How far can we push ourselves? Isn’t time we evolved?
How fast can we go with a bit of extra this or that?
He with the best chemist wins! Instead of all this pretending…
This being natural is getting tedious.
Meditation takes far too long!
Who cares about our souls, our spirit?
What gods will show themselves in this orgy of gratuitous indulgence?
Only Bacchus!
Tell me why we spend so much time getting on it, out of it, maggoted, shit faced? Why is reality so readily avoided? Abandoned?
When half the world can’t even get access to clean water?
Every 5 mins a child dies from lack of access to clean water!
After this outburst you realize that you have gone too far
The world is surely screwed; and we are all serving time.
“We are all poets to our lives in a general sense, but we each have a form that feels comfortable and right.”
Writing feels comfortable to me, when I write I am totally absorbed. Time disappears or stands still. I feel happy messing around with words. We use words every day. The English language is constantly evolving and yet sometimes words are inadequate and meaning is found in the silence around the words.
Today there is a special field called poetry therapy based on the recognition that words carefully chosen words, can be healing, cathartic. Words create images that can clarify emotions, memories and events. We can connect the past, the present with the future; it helps you to understand what you are going through. Poetic language, more so than medical or psychological language requires expression of feeling that is deep and genuine. It can make the human experience and suffering livable, no cure or explanation is necessary. The process is part of the healing., with insights and self discovery.
"Good art makes its way to the soul and does its job of healing”
