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.
