pedestals
oh the fucking pedestals
always fucking things
up
for love
needs an equal
flat ground
not a glorified mound
that
before anything else
creates a distance
equal
or
nothing
no compromises
just plain
teaming up
for assimilation
ain't possible
in the physical human form
pedestals
are for God
and am only seeking
an equal
you're awesome
and neither of us
need worshipers
- just each other ...

meet me where the waters last fell
for it has been
d r y
far too long
the corner
once
a billabong
too
is now
a claypan
it is not that
the elements
have been unjust
(it's) just that you
when you left
took the rains
with you
twin trickles
no matter how much
they ran
were never enough
for the big dry
..

a spikelet long dead
dances in the wind
and there ends the romance
no
it was neither super
nor supernatural
it
just
was
and just
is
nature

...of barb wire fences and invisible defences
some
just are born
fortresses
of fortitude
carrying on
with a deafening silence
and outlasting all enemies
words
assembled from far and wide
fall in a heap
at their sight
a dead tree but watches
and cannot be but a witness
to their journey ...

...of passing dead trees and breathing in deep
into the hollows of the chest
oh the stories and scenes
and sights
and seasons
they won't tell
yet i know
they know
it wasn't the wind
nor the waters
that
have taken away those stories
the marks where once was
bark
now the bones
with hollows
and stones
i put my ear and all i hear
are the waves
splashing onto memories
pictures which
i cannot decipher
no it wasn't the fault of the limb
that held the noose firm
'twas the man...

the highlander
lives on.
in hearts and minds
made the world laugh
brought comic relief
beyond own demons
and grief
his reign
is art
dared to tear
the boundaries down
calling out
the circus clowns
never afraid
to make 'em frown
his presence made richer
the deep underground
missed is the man
missed is the friend
one not to surrender
one not to bend
when I look up
any bearded white cloud
I know am looking at
you David MacLeod!

the beauty of democracy
no matter how rich
or poor
you are
how big you consider
yourself to be
all voices
at the end of the day
are equal
when it comes to vote
yes you may have influence
and corruption does often
muddles it
but ask any loudmouth proponent
of any political leanings
their biggest frustration
they have only one vote
just like the mute fella
around the corner
the great equalizer
one voice
one vote
leader or follower
equal amongst all humans
sad there exist other voices...
