This 25th April 2012 - ANZAC DAY

Turn Right Into the Firing Line

HMAS ARUNTA ...  My fathers ship in Korea

FORM/FUNCTION/EXECUTION or THE ART CRITIC OF WAR
each and every subject's
easily erased
each model reduced
to black and white figures on a page

portraits of new monsters
an old image retraced
paint it all with numbers
a distortion of common shapes

broken down and rebuilt
servitude in relief
sculpted to be ruins
for a landscape of pride and belief

two thousand feet above
a thousand miles away
nemesis needs no face
for this re conceptualisation of space

may good fortune strike us blind
may we see not their eyes
may they wear our masks so bold
may these young hearts beat cold
that we may destroy all our enemies

I don't see or understand
why or where these men stand
but empathy alone could stay this failed artist's hand.

Thank you Hostage Life 


WAR - Edwin Starr



In the last days there will be wars and rumours of wars.  These last days are the last days of the hell fire PISCERIAN AGE and now thank goodness it should turn around and come good.  Here in this part of the universe today we are celebrating the soldiers coming home from war and our ANZAC DAY...  Australia and New Zealand Armed Corps.  Have a good day with whatever you are doing today.
