Australia is calling'

Are you listening out in Wood-wood' in Balranald do you hear in the Hunter and
Newcastle all round Maitland ix it clear?
From Jamestown, in Burra-Burra and from
Port Augusta too will they  stand? speak
Out? Unite..Just do whats right, its time for such to do.' In Wonthaggi and Killarny 
Ballarat and Bendigo, across to Geelong town
Get out be strong 'for that is what best' the Aussies do' in Geraldton and Bunbury past Perth and
Up to Broome, at Hobatt Emerald and Coolgardie be
No longer fooled.' In Forbes and Parkes and
Dubbo, in and Coleraine, Kiama too; Crookwell and
Coffs Harbour Australia calls to you.' If
You are asleep in Tumut, awaken' ask A man Johnny
Larter, our everyday Hero just whats on.' Then tell all your mates too.' in
Yass and also Wagga.' I'm sure they'll come along.'
And in coming then will realise, that mateship
Is  key; is strong ' let your flags fly high till 'bye and 
Bye' you are heard and your villans fall, once again all your women and  man will be free, Now will you respond..To your nations call.'

The Between

The space in the between
Is home of the Divine
Where ether and atom
Forever intertwine

For the presence of God
Has no possible gap
As expressed through each one
Though form feel like a trap

And so Life emerges
From the Mind of the All
Unfolding in beauty
With the rise and the fall

And when I feel lonely
I need simply recall
The presence of the One
Is eminent in all

forever forbes flying flawlessly

forbiding forever forbes to fly forward flawlessly foruitously
falsely fascinated by five fools following fleetingly frantic
flipflops fervently and furiously.

Beauty not Concealed

She may be a poor girl 
Begging on the street
But she has a pretty face,
Like those you’d like to meet.
She’s just a beggar girl,
Having everything it takes
For a man to turn his head
And the world to lay their stakes.
She’s fit for the silver screen
For Forbes to make a claim,
She has, what it takes
To weaken a misogynist fame.
She is undiscovered 
With undercover for clothes
She has the motion
Ramp walkers dream of most.
She has the smile
That can melt a frozen heart,
She has the style
Without fashion schooled art.
She may be poor
But rich in looks and appeal,
She may be a beggar
Yet her beauty she can’t conceal.

Shiny Pieces

Not one 
is keeper
of the Whole
Yet each is a
reflection of It,
shining in 
colored 
brilliance
from each 
unique aspect

Shine bright, 
my sister-brother
and share what 
you uniquely are
In joining our collective lights,
we come closer to seeing the Whole


Becky Forbes

the way home

When stillness calls
and busy falls away
When errors fade 
and joy fills up the day

When no more thought
is spent on what’s gone
When night has passed
and clear is the dawn

When all that is
is allowed just to be
When terror dreams
are transformed into glee

Here is the storm
quieted in the mind
Found is the peace
that’s been there all the time

Caving Disaster at Mossdale Caverns

Ten adventurers went caving in Yorkshire Dales, England in 1967.
It was a gorgeous June day, so they were in terrific spirits.
Four of them decided not to continue a few hours later, unsure why.
The remaining six were all young healthy men.

Morag Forbes, who had discontinued the adventure, returned to the site.
Mossdale Caverns was underwater so she knew the six were in trouble.
Shocked for her friends, she ran to get help.
Many volunteers began digging a ditch, to circumvent water.

The six inside had been climbing and crawling through the cavern,
When a rush of water came in through all directions due to flooding.
They were caught by surprise in the labyrinth.
Sadly, they were buried inside the cave.

Refugee's Not Aliens

Refugees
Not aliens, once citizens
reduced to Stateless beings
Not because of own making
On run as find life simmering
due to anarchy set afire
by mindless Power bearers
Womb of their myopic terror
sans umbilical cord giving birth
to orphan refugees on Mother Earth

Refugees 
ignored by 
Heartless Progressive tribes 
some busy in fun trip to Mars 
some  listed as Forbes billionaire 
some relishing edible gold powder
some using gilted commodes,cars 
while refugee families live in fear
in temporary abodes near border
sans food, clothes, clean water 

Refugees
ensnared pawn in crossfire 
beart brunt, while killers 
of Refugee's Nationality
aren't probed, booked, jailed ! 
Lady Justice stands blindfolded 
Scales tilted against Refugees
Sword not chopping cruelty gross
Killers of Refugee's identity 
roaming scot-free with impunity 

Refugees 
man-made menace
pose a great challenge
Society should ensure
none is made to flee 
as after effects are grave
Refugee can turn bad apple
rotting full basket of Humanity 
shaming HIS Creativity
humiliating HIS Divinity

Hashtag Peetoo

Not quite twelve, and I needed a catheter
I had a bladder infection
What’s that? She told, and I laughed at her

The male nurse, she said, pretty rough
That didn’t sound good, on reflection
She said she could, good enough!

H/T to The One for the Job by Becky Forbes

Baby's First Flight

If so inclined with reservations
Amniotic baby will float on water
Just around the corner of a smile
Embryological y correct you could say
Adequately enclosed in fluid aquatic
Practicing goo goo and gaga for mommy

Clothes would be nice
Naked is better
A hotel will suffice

Is this a room with a womb?
With an ashtray to steal?
With a balcony overlooking tomorrow?
A window to parachute out?

A room with a view would be nice
Where's the glasses and ice?
Where's the towels and mommy?

Umbilical ready for birth
Thumb in the mouth for security
Cord is secure according to Forbes
Don't want to bounce off the walls 
Not exactly a Wall Street journey
It's baby's first flight out

Food Glorious Food Second Helping

First and foremost on the agenda,
would be to locate an affordable,
casual and favorable eatery
tubby agreeable to our taste
indubitable choice without
(any formal dress code),
nor further haste.

Strait away to the great weigh
(or if vegetarian – whey)
station of delectable food
where the exquisite, expertise, and exotic

high steak king a claim on Michelin Guide,
Gayot Guide/Gault Millau, American
Automobile Association, Forbes
Travel Guide reputation good.

Testimony to legendary praise
explaining why patrons travel
for countless days
transforming him/her
into steady state,

where he/she shuffles along
in a dishabille quotidian famished daze
far and wide culinary craze
out of this world wide web, the wispy Lyft
wafts trace steamy filament up braise
our noses,

whereat heads nod affirmation i.e. ayes. 
Even before making a glad entrance 
(into Restaurant) complete
a host of fresh, enticing,

and delicious aromas serve as a treat.
Delicate, foreign, hefty indescribable
ole factory stimulants delight
infiltrating thru swinging kitchen doors
holding us smell bound,
though thin filaments invisibly light.

Stripped of Her Assets

Sue posed nude on the cover of Fforbes
Shocked neighbours saw her massive pink orbs
Her old father went mad
She said "Don’t worry Dad,
You'll feel better once the shock absorbs"

Pure fiction as 'Forbes' is a business magazine
Ff was  deliberately used to make the name sound upmarket like the name Audrey FForbes-Hamilton from a British Sitcom 'To the Manor Born'

When I think of your name
I think how delightful it was to have known you

You are extraordinary
You are the reason why everything around me 
Looks beautiful and bright

When I dream of you
I hold you dear to my heart
You my love are the reason 
Why everything in my life looks radiant and light

You are the person that stole my heart
You are charming 
Kissable.

Cute,
Lovable

Unforgettable
Dazzling
Exceptional

There is no other name 
That I hold so close to my heart
You my love are everything

You are fabulous
One of a kind
Remarkable
Breath-taking
Elegant 
Seductive

You are the one that is the love of my life.

No Longer Niggas

Niggas still pledging allegiance 2 the same ****, slavery lives no longer in that 
old physical sense, now these crackers whipping us with a mental whip, 
controlled with material sips, most sell their souls until their thirst is quenched, 
the devil, Satan is he or she a Justifiable Religious Myth, a plutocracy, a 
government ran by the rich, finally a Black president, a pleasurable, memorable 
but minute accomplishment, while the true President wealth, has him ranked 
#1 on the Forbes list, we too focus on being rich, but 2 blind 2 see this **** 
mental ignorance, Niggas still pledging allegiance 2 the same old ****, 
controlled with material sips, mental whips, slavery lives no longer in that old 
physical sense, physically we’re free, but mentally break the law, then you lose 
your freedom physically, free your mind mentally. 

Free your mind so we can 
No longer be Niggas

I pledge allegiance-n-pray
God frees all my Niggas

Spiritually
Mentally
     -n-
Physically


Nigga don’t mean
Color it means mind frame
Whatever color you are
