The Sins of Redemption
Birds chirp in a soulless sky
free
from each day’s bias
when the media publishes
hypocrisy and lies
as propaganda
to which people react
with displays of rage
or faith in fantasies
as alternatives to happiness.
Alone at Home
Morose memories
of gray days
indifferently adapting
to parodies of respectability
in suburbia
at monotonous family gatherings
insulated from apathy
by duty
platitudes
and an absence of affection.
Doctrines of Deception
Cloned clouds hover
over hollows between hills
where mists whisper
about degenerate genes
and unkind eyes
obsessed by sex
glitter in faces
indifferent to time
and the decay of beauty.
the virus of violence.
The Theory of Devolution
The braying of a goddamn ass
preaching to a congregation
of reincarnated dogs and cats
inside a mud brick temple
built before the genocide
that vaporized
tyrants, politicians and lechers.
An Australian poet whose latest collection, ‘Patterns of Perception’, was published by Augur Press (UK) in January 2015. He lives with his family at Lysterfield, a Melbourne suburb, in the state of Victoria.
