AFTERMATH

Barb Hostalek

AFTERMATH

Toilet paper used right way
Captures excreta
From PMs loose hole

BEYOND

Get up the Voice rallied mob
Stand up for the past
Show up. Mob did. Fail.
 

SORRY

Acknowledgement of Country
White allies use it to say
We voted yes, but…
 

FUCK YOU

Profanities will get you
Fuck all! Fear wins.
Fuck you racist fuck
 

PAY UP

There is more to be done now
That’s what you reckon
Reconcile. Pay rent

FAILURE AT START

Your voice is far from paper
Set up to fail
Bipartisan help
 

IDENTITY

No fucking Aussie vote tells me
Who I am, tells me
Who family are
 

No fucking yes vote would have
Taken your home, cash
Maybe OUR gap slashed

SPRING

Adversity is contained
in the quiet of
pain. Truth should grow now.
 

VOICE

Saying too much speaking loud
Lots of money spent
Still mob without much
 

RACIST

Stop apologising now!
We don’t want pity.
I don’t want you here.
 

EYES

Three eyes red, black and yellow
No escaping blood
Lines will continue

NO

No no no no no no no
No no no no no
Fuck you white privilege
 

YES

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Yes yes yes yes yes
Always was always
