Coattails

Playing in the sun
BANG-BANG!
‘The alleged gunmen…’

‘Islamic Iran having nukes? Nope.’
BANG-BANG!
‘The alleged alliance…’

Growing in the sun
KNOCK-KNOCK!
‘The alleged fuel supply…’

‘We will conquer the West!’
KNOCK-KNOCK!
‘The alleged religion of peace…’

‘Get your own oil, we got plenty.’
GLUG-GLUG!
‘The alleged treaties…’

Rusty train tracks in the sun
GLUG-GLU…
The fuel pump runs dry

The little red hen asked:
Who will help me plant the seeds?
Who will help me water the seedlings?
Who will help me harvest the wheat?
Who will help me mill the grain?
Who will help me kneed the dough?
Who will help me bake the bread?

Not I, said Australia
Not I, said EU
Not I, said NATO
Not I, said Engelstan
I will, said Israel

After baking the bread, the little red hen asked, who will help me eat the bread?

All the reactionary left cried yes!
However, the little red hen nodded once to Israel,
and only those two enjoyed
delicious bread enough to fill
their bellies over and over

Meanwhile, as we watch the continuing bullshit dribbling out of Albo’s mouth, we must consider a few tasty crumbs left by the little red hen:
1. who we vote for
2. who we speak to about who we vote for
3. how we speak about who we vote for
4. how we decide who to vote for

Nietzsche noted that democracy is a system for the weak to manage themselves. Well, now that Albo and the reactionaries have destroyed our only protection against any invader, we may have to double down on creating the best, sturdiest and most transparent secular democracy there has ever been.

Cutting all costs to purchase the fuel which grows our food, transports our food and water, keeps the lights on, runs our cars and phones and sewage systems, keeps the rubbish cleared, and pays for everything, just might become top priority.

Australia has my pity. No more taboo about politics or religion. How we survive and thrive is at stake. Just be respectful and make decisions based on the best facts you can confirm.

I really hope the end of Australia’s alliance with the US was April Fools…
