Living In The Past

Don’t look back
If you were supposed to
You’d have eyes in the back of your head

A roll up weave with rear sensors
Backing cameras with multi lens
De-aging every year until you are dead.

Visions, transference of consciousness
A time machine brain chip
Maybe a gyroscope in your flip top head.

21st Century Play

Stare at the screen
hold the portal to the world
play a mindless game,
never realise they’re bored.

Keep them distracted,
don’t let them be political
then the capitalists
can do as they will.

Joe Hockey [02]

What would you know,

about the ordinary sch’mo?

How the world goes,

with your millionaire wife,

and your out of touch life.

Angry man

fat politician.

Joker’s wild

stupid smile

on your dial.

The public riled,

poor people defiled,

unemployed chided.

To get a good budget,

not big business puppet,

you need a good treasurer

to give the public pleasure,

especially if we are paying him

to stay at his house.

How many policies have you got through,

from this year,

or any other year?

You just need to get a better job

or it is to the back bench you go,

you fat knob.

21st Century Day

7 hours sleep,

7 hours work,

7 hours play,

a few hours to waste.

Work life balance,

what a disgrace.

What Is Age?

Some have old faces

and young hearts,

Some have young faces

and old hearts,

Age is just a number

that sets us a part.

Minimum Requirement

Any idiot

can get a driver’s licence

a mobile phone plan,

a credit card,

operate an ATM,

it would seem.

Who said

they can’t learn?

Benchmark the dumb,

get them to spend,

prepare them for life,

that’s all that matters

in the end.

House Work

You can see

why certain people

get a certain pleasure

from house work,

there is a certain

sense of achievement.

For those with low

expectations in life,

I would guess,

and nothing 

more important

to address.
