Genocide

3ww

christians of mosul
eradicated
refused to pay the mercenary tax
refused to recognize allah

women and children
tortured murdered
photos
not for the squeamish

their brothers in the world
masters of hypocrisy
turn the other cheek

contorting scripture
to mask cowardice
singing gentle psalms
while cries and pleas
a distant hum in the wind
falls on deaf ears

Bitter Almonds

cyanide poison
the smell of bitter almonds
in a ring of gold

Happy Moments This Week

happiness

crunching on a crisp delicious
looking out on to the deck
away from the world



my car passed rego
owing to a fluke
God is on my side
hallelujah



Linda Burney

happy to know
since 1967
she is no longer registered
under the wild life act
fauna and flora



falling about laughing
watching comedy
bill hunter
as the toupee wearing
creepy old irk
in strictly ballroom

" Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. Lucy had her work cut out for her "
"Mrs Dalloway gave parties to cover the silence "


another party
to cut the silence, she bought
the flowers herself

For The Weekend

chabrier drifts
from a sunroom jungle
the woman
sunglints on her silver foils
crosses the park
through the willow trees

the turquoise afternoon
dazzles to twilight
on seven shillings beach
dark mauve blue weed
entwining the orange nasturtiums

boats bobbing to the tinkle of halyards
chitter chatter from balcony barbecues
popping of corks clang of cutlery
lights and ferries gliding along
on a mirror neon red and blue

silvery laughter
the rustle of taffeta
soft slam of a sports car door
perfume flowers  crystal
summer night

Brief Melody

1991- 2010

Tyler Clementi committed suicide after his college room mate
secretly set up a web cam to spy on him having a homosexual encounter
and encouraged his twitter followers to view it on his f b. It went viral.


what did those midnight eyes
of yours see gazing into the webcam
titillating your dusky dirty mind
titters to twitter and facebook
feeding your malice
were you bored?
or
are you just a cruel sadistic f..K?
