DESERT VISION

are you listening?
am I?
God are you there?
are you listening?
am I?
are you speaking?

What are you saying today?
What are you thinking wanting seeing?

Where is it all leading?
How long have we got?

What is the most important thing?
What is the question?
Hope it's not
'Humans or not?'

i just googled this question
after seeing the movie 'lions for lambs'
what is that about?
propaganda?
was the message that if America's young lions only signed up instead of their lambs there would be an easy 'win'in the war against terror!
I don't know, maybe I misread it
frightening really
so I came home and googled
'How to save the world?'
and found a good man's blog -
Dave Pollard
I agree with him
Our world is heading into crisis
what it needs is not experts in
war, media or money
nor experts in running a
consumer society but a new
expertise in fostering sustainable citizenry
... or something like that
if our 'best' can focus on leading us
into achieveable strategies
for achieving this
we may HAVE a future world!

between the cracks
of a mindset
tracking blind
through culture black
holes
of thought
we're caught
between two poles
and still
truth falls

but let this light
this media quest
as jousting suits
pursue recruits
shine on these saddening, bitter truths
and realise
that once brought out
this can of worms
cannot be left
uncared about

and though this shallow
blinkered smacks
may yet
bring justice
out back

A further comment on the Australian Government's response to the 'Little Children are Sacred Report' and the subsequent NT Intervention. Whether motivated by Election plans or Mineral deposits on the lands -
May both Territory and Commonwealth Government's as a result of this intervention and what it uncovers also about it's own inadequate systems and past neglect, be squarely faced with this culpability and lack of 'duty of care', and in future ensure that Anangu, Yapa communities (Indigenous) are equipped with the kind of public infrastructure that the rest of us Australians enjoy i.e. adequate police, secondary education, teachers, health care, governance and roads.
