Short Dinkum Poems

. for public domain

My thoughts scattered,
my soul leaned toward
running on a Roman sword.

The enemy,
a futile life,
recoiled from this soldier's knife.

"Come live this way,"
the beckoned plea.
(Live less than you are, they mean.)

Oblivion
awaits us all.
I'll own my end, not the less....

Green @ Soylent
So then the poor looked and saw,
Some tory bastards thinking,
Depression pills 4 all the dills,
Yer sex life aint fair dinkum,
Dumbing down of the savage clown,
Lobotomy oh so fearsome,
Brain dead is poor ole Fred,
What me worry, insincere-some,
Stay away from lobotomys hey,
Keep yer brain on auto pilot,
Depression bugger off today,
Deprive the green of Soylent ?

The primacy of love is 'totalmente' undisputed,
An authority of orderliness in a tumultuous society,
A powerful dose to subdue war;  
A conspicuous symptom of our world's malady.

Love 'originalism' is not 'paternalism' but an explicit form of 'maternalism',
It's not a brimborion expression nor a vacuous indoctrination,
It's not professions of some 'high-falutin' 'gran rabino',
But an absolute lifestyle of a dinkum person.

A flathead once carried in his tuckerbag a grinder 
So hungry he sat at a fair dinkum binder
But he won't trust his eyes
When a fellow donkey arrives
To eat up all the remainder

Aussie-Talk:   A tuckerbag is a bag carrying food by a swagman (= hobo)
		      A binder is a solid meal
		      Fair dinklum means excellent
		      A flathead is a fool
		      A donkey is a stupid person...
