"Where there is no vision, 

the people perish: 

but he that keepeth the law, 

happy is he." 

Proverbs 29:18 King James Version

Sadly I see no vision. I see media circuses. I see carefully crafted sound bites. I see laws made to suit political expediency, I see youth unemployment at 20% in regional Qld.

I pray this Election brings vision and integrity and protection of our ancient land, the seas around it and the critters swimming in it.

Awaking today

I was sure

it was still

the weekend.

Some mornings

it's hard to tell

up from down.

Borrowed Board

Vernacular

We learned our vernacular of hate from our mothers and our fathers.

We learned to be afraid of strangers and those who looked different to us. Those whose god's names were unfamiliar.

We learned to create weapons of mass distruction under the aegis of defending peace. We spent billions of dollars on shiny jets to transport our weapons while millions starved or were killed by the mosquito.

And then one day we realised this was not sustainable. In fact, by any definition this was actually insane. We were spending billions of dollars on weapons and the result was the opposite of our intentions and the promises of our kings and queens and elected "leaders" - more war, more fatalities, more "collateral damage" and more fear.

Eventually we had all had enough. (Except the corporations getting rich selling weapons.) We expressed our solidarity, our frustrations, our disappointment with those in charg by taking to the streets.

Around the world, pacifists from all religions, farmers, greenies, hippies, hipsters, hotrodders and even leather clad punk Anarchists were on the same page. And in my town they ambled in the summer heat, dripping and chanting together along the main road in the shadow of an old volcano covered with wooden houses. "Not in my name!" "Je suis charlie"

We are one planet covered in brine.

We are one race - humans.

We all laugh, cry, bleed and die.

We all want peace.

We all dream.
