AUSTRALIA
(Former Australian Prime Minister, the right regressive) John Howard’s American ‘Human Rights’ Medal : Detention Centres and very long term detention for Refugees; Failure to protect the Legal Rights of Australian Citizens abroad, in particular an Australian held in Guantanemo Bay (electioneeringly brought back to Australia on the proviso of silence just before an election); Military Intervention and suspension of Land Rights as a way of dealing with Aboriginal affairs!

MIDDLE EAST
(Nazi) Holocaust creates Israel : Israel creates Holocaust (against the Palestinians) replete with ‘Berlin Wall’

You Are Apocalypse
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 09 January 2009)

The pieces of a broken pen
You are apocalypse
The stunted growth of pastures green
You’re a wanderer by nature
The most Polish of all her children
You are your mother’s son
And while your father tried to live your life vicariously
You managed to hold sway

Born of God’s playground
You know of nationalism, religion, greed and pain
One or more of the first three you place at the root of every war
The fourth then akin to Chopin’s [no pain like life]
Anxiety and its friend verbosity rule the day
A messiah in the making
Where all ask, ‘Who do you think you are?’
… Ah but just a kindly soul

The bag of ‘stuff’ that you carry
Your presenting problem
You could drop at any time
In the name of emotional intelligence
And those who look to you for guidance and for strength
Could find their own empowering way
Though it’s a navel gaze in danger of an ego
And you the brunt of it

And as Ms Bradley said [a Bard you must first be]
For music helps you get to where you can live to be
Nobody-but-yourself
At the eye of each and every storm

Pedestrian Observatory
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 08 January 2009)

In a pedestrian observatory
He lives alone
Before him lies
Human evidentiary

All the birds his friends
The flight
The busyness
A mind at rest

To view the flowers
Along his way
Is to live his life
Every day

Natures, one and all

Interdependent
Defining

My Godmother
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 03 January 2009)

I see her sit
The minimal self
Breathing
Reminiscing her usual life
Not quite knowing
Anything or anyone
Then a lucid moment
Where she passes on
What she knows

Her being is love
Was love
And still is
Despite the failing mind
A mind which served
A very long life
Of fierce independence
And now the end times
Flashes and sleep
Until the endless sleep
Her god not willing to take her
Despite her askings
There’s still more to be done
Wherein I felt called to find her
Then to come to her side

For a long time now
I’ve called her my real
Mother
The font of love
Which taught me love
And now I’m here
By her side
To give and not to take
To learn my old lessons
Of patience
Of silence
Of perseverance

And now she must sleep
A temporary sleep for now
