Up a Tree Without a Ladder

22/10/2015

A Call to Alms


Take a step back 
Look to the horizon
Keep your eyes on the space 
Between the earth, the sky
The you and me zone.


Watch as
They bubble to the surface
Arisen from within
Forming a layer 
A scum
In a conscience free circus


The mining, the drilling of minerals
The plastic revolution
Disposable animals
Tracts of pollution, haze on the spires
Crusts of delusion
Tangled in wires


Exhaust flees from
Self fulfilling thrillseekers
The average Joe
The members of parliament
Mr Speaker


In front of you is
The earth sitting on top of itself.


The symptom of lust growing
Glows on the skin 
Swollen with greed
Infecting the soil
Under a dust
That poisons our kin


Scabs of glass clad factories
Nobody's houses shine brightly 
Pierced with chimneys exhaling burnt offerings 
Accelerate the rust
Smoking like jiminy
Endless 
Unsightly


Metal horses running races on strips 
Shift loads of ore
To make more 
Horses, more trips
Plastic ships hauling freight to and fro
Between peoples mouths
Children's lips 
Dredging for fish to fulfill the wishlists of Capitalist & co 
Oceanic misfits

Catch the drift


The more we take out from under our feet less we have to stand on 
Make a difference.

Reduce our footprint.

A quick note to say in December from the 3rd, for six weeks, I will be exhibiting an installation of masks. A crowd that will convene in honour of the question, " Where are we going ? ".

There will be a crowd of characters convening around a large document. The theme is about questioning the status quo in regard to climate refugees, people and plants and fauna. 
 
Pataka, Norrie st, Porirua, New Zealand. From 3rd Dec 'til 17th January.

All works will be for sale.
