Scribing 45 - Criss-crossing metal parts in a mechanism of life

The sounds of the cars, trucks and buses
Reverberate into the amphitheatre of a small cafe
At times I have visualised waves in the ocean coming and going
A gentle sea breeze fills the air and the sun pervades the shadowless atmosphere

I've got my bag of money
My little geetar and my hipster chai latte
Was it made with almond milk? Is it genuinely hipster?
Or is it just hipster-esque

This is a question that plagues my mind constantly

The excitement of a day fills my heart
Suddenly everything is positive and full of flavour
Like the stars have suddenly arranged themselves in a way,
favourable to my particular besodden frequency

We can all be happy together I tell them
Community can work
We just need to trust and let go
And share everything

Like we do now but with less reluctance, or insecurity
Ha, we australians have so much and share so little
Hard times are coming for all not just one or two
When they hit these shores the pain will be felt worst where those that have little have no conditionings for sharing

Sharing, sharing, sharing
So many live in each other's pockets
In poorer countries, in countries where there are shared afflictions like cold cold winters
In countries where depressions have been experienced a level of community still exists in the subconscious

A knowing, a loving, a 'we can work it out together' because 'we're in it together' and 'exile and threat of death' just is not practical for the procurement of a happy loving community where we are all happy

I know it sounds like soppy bullshit
But it's true
It's real
And the idea that we have succumbed to 'the bad', 'the dark', that we are 'afflicted' that we are somehow 'individuals' and 'unique'
Are conditions we have placed on our behaviour because we have the luxury to do so
in a well oiled money run society that we have not had to scrape away at the bottom of the barrel for our living

So, yes, it is my opinion and prediction, for a large part, Australians will have it hard later on
There will be accountability for our inabiility to share our abundance

And if the government is making decisions for us on our behalf that we have no control over
An elitist group of politicians sucking off the life energy force of the people
Then we need to make this democracy, not just a namesake but a reality
As the people, we move as one and defeat ignorance first

Then move forward and create a framework for people living on the same land that serves all the people living on it.

There are certainly times when life is meaningless
That the absurd is king

This is a defence mechanism by myself to protect against the insanity of society
I can't change everything
But I can change
What I can change

And if I do what I can do
Then as I go, others may do the same

I start splashing and in time the whole pond will be raging in waves
