Am I being totally paranoid? Are my drugs starting to kick in, or are they not working?
Have I had too much to drink… Or, maybe, not enough?
Maybe I am going insane… but in who’s eyes? Isolation is said to provoke insanity.
Extreme sensory deprivation is also said to bring insanity to the forefront.
Maybe my paranoid sycophantic insanity brings about these ramblings.
Am I the only one to see that within all levels of leadership,
the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing?
Why is mankind so fixated with the concept of working full-time in main-stream jobs?
Is it a case of “Go Gently into that Good Night”?
I say “NO”. I will fight tooth and nail, right to the bitter end.
Normality will never exist within our multi-cultural society.
We have gangs of different ethnic or religious beliefs
Roaming the streets with machete’s and guns, looking for unprovoked fights.
Maybe someone looked at another person the wrong way…
It seems that any slight, imagined or real, is met with extreme violence.
All men may be created equal, but not when viewed in the eyes of man.
The “Mr. Mums”, the shift workers, the sole-parents…
Are these not worthy occupations to fit into the laws, mores and expectations of our society?
The unemployed, the pensioners, those with a mental illness…
Are they to be cast out from our ranks: deemed unworthy of participation?
Participation in the human race… Participation in life itself…
Shall we bundle them upon the broken-down, leaky Ship Of Fools
and let them set sail from our shores, never to be heard from again?
Much as this may seem like a good idea for (racial) cleansing of the people,
Who will sit in judgement of those in the right and those in the wrong?
Who will sentence these poor, wondering, unexpectant, misaligned fools to a watery grave?

I only hope it does not turn out to be a pompous, pretentious, petty prick of a self-serving politician.

Eagles land behind my house. Parrots, Galah’s & Cockatoo’s land in my front yard. Kangaroos, wallabies, field mice, wombats, possums and rabbits drink from my 2.5 megalitre dam. Murray Cod are in abundance, as are the humble Cherax Destrector, or Yabby. As such, my photography the nature of the beast that lurks within. Discover the secrets that are to be found within.

    No, you are not alone. I see it, too. :( Marvelous portrait. Not very hilarious.

  • Thanks lucin. Good to see I’m not alone in the ramblings of my brain. The portrait was deliberately “yucked” up to guarantee a closer look.

    Think part of being creatively empowering is to say it how it is. Personally I believe that the meaning of life should be to exist with as much joy as possible. However our lives seem so much about competition and survival that joy takes such a back seat. I do not believe too many of us are that happy with life yet many seem to accept so many things that they live in denial in my opinion.

  • Yes Tony, I do think we need to get as much joy out of life as possible. and it is the denial that needs to take a back seat.

    how very cool….love what you did with this….and especially love what you wrote ; )

  • Thanks, Care. A lot of photoshopping on the pic (of me), and the text…. Well, I tend to have a few “down” days. I’ am in the process of brightening my writing style with a more positive undertone, so have to see how I go. Thanks very much for your comments. My love and thoughts are with you and yours.
