A couple of days before detainment on the 28th of the 2nd:
I feel alone by the fire
Nowhere to go
Still searching, still looking
Who would know
I have reams, I have thoughts, I have doubts
Where is the road paved with gold
I, the last little child, with the fancy shoes
Lost my home
Breathe in, breathe out, there you go
The sky knows where you want to go, Fly to it
The lord knows where you want to go, be with him
28/02/2017 (On first being detained in Belfast I was told I could only be held at Larne for three days maximum)
Ambitious, that's one word for it
Hopeful? But that's not quite right either
3 days of forced solitude
In sterile rooms
with sterile walls
and sterile food
and sterile entertainment
I've got a single book
Every hour there is a welfare check
Make sure that you're well and fare
Check to see you haven't harmed yourself
You the product
You the commodity
to be returned to the place you were born
for reassignment
Continue
take a sip of your favourite strong imaginary drink
Pretend intoxication
Thank Ireland for her graces
Thank you Ireland for your graces
My life is a poetry
and I'm being detained and sent home
by the same imperialism
That has tortured you so hard
For so long
Thank you Ireland for your love
Don't weep for me in here
Just be what you are
Love yourself so
Thanks a million
It was grand, I had good craic.
...
I touched the sky
It set off an alarm
And an attendant came to make sure
I did not escape
I read trash fiction like a scientist
Trying deep to squeeze out some substance
The light switches off every ten minutes automatically
So I get some light exercise
and a reading break
Will I remember what I am now?
As good information by which
To change my behaviour
4 days here, 7 days there, one day flying
Lots of explanation
saving, saving, saving
Go again
Remember this one thing
If nothing else
I can learn from everything
Please dear god don't let me get stuck in the land down under.

The end, the end, the end is nigh
A lovely bountiful, beautiful feast
Inner turmoil, Inner conflict
I can push it all out for this moveable feast
The plan to end the world is fabulous
Every drip drip drip is falling like warm blood
off a freshly cut wound
Keep the mind busy
that's the big thing
The dark density of my brain
falls to the floor
I don't belong in Australia
I must get out of Australia
Again the scramble to escape from hell
Work hard every day, move on
I sit in my stone cell
Hoping for some nibbles of interest
I'll go back to reading
I have four days here to do reading
You think you've got it bad
Coming from where you came
And where will you go?
Going to where you go?
Trapped, the pattern that is me
Stop fighting it, no escape
Do what you can with what you've got
everything I do is poison,
then poison the demon's water.

One more day and a half
In the jail called detainment
I stare out the window
Nostalgia sets in
Because beyond the razor wire fences
I can see the makings of an english forest
I lived in the forest once
A fellow detainee has a loud music device
He seems to think we all enjoy modern pop
Who cares really
It's expression
We've been locked up for the night
Like little children
And then we're free
The unlocked door, says we're free
free to associate with other detainees
Free to get some breakfast
That's the definition of freedom right now
It changes from moment to moment
Locked up regularly for a role
The sun outside gives me joy
People in and out of detainment
for no apparent reason
Immigration are bullies asking to see the same thing over and over again
The forest outside, I cannot go there
Don't go to a new country for a new life
We live a lie here, you've soon discovered
Stay where you are and change what you are
from where you are - simple
Return to your hometown
And wreak havoc amongst the stars
Shake the ground
And let the world know
You are here
Do not run any longer
Do not be a coward
You must face the truth
Be what you are
Where you are
I know it's hard
And it's easy for me to say
But, change what you are
Where you are
Stand and do not be moved
...
The meaning of life is to keep the mind busy

Living in a detention centre
in many ways
Is just like living in the homeless centre in Sydney
three meals a day, lining up a queues with despondent men
Getting locked in at night
Except in the detention centres
I don't get the luxury to venture out into a thriving mono-culture
Keenly observing insanity in progress
Pressing my cold hands on the cold glass
of the walls of moneylessness
No, here the walls are cold concrete
Here the illusion of freedom
is replaced with actual captivity
Here, reality is real
As far as the system is concerned
No money
No freedom
...
Gangster synopsis
The 'gangster' is a pre-approved, pre-packaged
pre-programmed deviant archetype personality
that plays a key role in society
The 'I'm big and powerful because I say so' position in the matrix
This masculine comradery
Rapping, yelling, yo yo yo
Movies TV
Everybody wants to be the sugar daddy
and if you're not 'chosen' and still want power
well the system has provided a way through its system of organized deviance
'the gangster'
It provides a way for even the baddest badass to feel belonging in a closed system
the system designs its own demons
its own angels
and it's own wars
Gangster rap, gangster movies
badass badasses
yo yo yo, yo yo yo
A false wall of narcissism
hidden within a man's high defences
illuminated due to a tough situation
unable to look himself in the eye
"It's cool to kill
You too can be tough!"
feel nothing, throw away your feelings
It's cool
real world drama, real world pain
are created by a gangster fantasy archetype
feeding on lost boys search for belonging and identity
feeding an industry of security
feeding the industry of fear and war
It's all about being the biggest man
In a dog eat dog world
there is no choice for equality in this world
your only hope for a taste of freedom
Is a favourable place in the pecking order of males
|
The finished Monikarus Sigil design |
first in first served
bigger muscles
bigger guns
more ruthlessness
you're the winner
well done big man
so you've failed at status society
You can still be a gangster and still have a status
be a part of this ever expanding white light lie and live forever.
... (Brook house is the name of the detention centre at Gatwick Airport where I was being detained)
"Attention Brookhouse
Activity time is now over
Activity time is now over"
Like we are little children
playing at playschool
My activities haven't changed since
I was locked up on the room before dinner
Being white and born in the right country is not enough
You must always also have been born in the right family
...

I look forward to looking out the window
to see past the razor wire fences
and into the great beyond
some countryside
some beautiful heath, some tree and farmland
I wonder how it looks in summer
all greened up and lush
Well I still have coffee, even if it's cheap coffee
I dreamed of my piano
which i played for some people
in some derelict beat and tune
and then i put it on the front seat of a public bus
next to the drive
I was unlucky to be picked up where I was
I got unlucky
I faced some anti-energy
that wished to send me back from where I came
I played the piano on the bus for a short time
I couldn't get it off in time through fear it was too heavy
But a girl that was following me left the bus
with the piano on her back
I went after her
having been confused of where the piano had gone
She got off at a service station
climbed a hill
and planted it in the ground next to other trees that men had planted there before
because the piano was a piano and also a tree
It was a kind of chunky pandan sugar cane
two of them
I wasn't angry
But there was a part of me that was
I wanted to find the girl to ask her questions
I found her in the back of someone's ute
filling up petrol at the station
She said one thing I don't remember
Then her hosts drove away
rashly
Not caring what their hitchhiker had to say to what friend
I felt like the piano was where it was meant to be
So I felt liberated for the trees
I also felt robbed that I could never play the piano again
but I felt this was conceited to think this way
because my dominant instrument is/was now a guitar
and I wasn't going to play the piano like I did ever again
So it's true a girl planted my piano
And it will grow into beauty
I better be there to water it once in a while
the root stock needs nurturing in it's first few days
my beautiful, beautiful tree
and the cheeky girl that planted it for me
Knew full well where it belonged
...
Are you ready to return to the place from whence you came?
You learned so many things about music, people and yourself on this trip
What will you do with all this life experience?
Twiddle your cock in the corner?
NO, you will stand
You are prepared for a purpose
Chosen, by yourself
To be extraordinary
Move
Wait
Move
Wait
RUN
Run when it is conducive to run
Go faster and faster and never stop
Then flow
and allow others to take the heat
because you alone
cannot be this conduit of a star
the energy is too great for one
It must be taken in turns
Until you expand infinitely
into the nothingness of space
and expand infinitely into yourself
and discover what its like to be
God in your universe
to be to blame
And to praise
For all things.
The end, the end
Tender
Give the old man what he wants
Get a free prize
Humanity
It's what all the decent sages are after these days
There are days of old
These endings
These dark times
Before the eternal light of days
Sing
Sing
Sing
