Art & poetry
鈥淵ou may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I鈥檒l rise.鈥
So wrote Maya Angelou, in her poem 鈥淪till I Rise鈥. She died on May 28 at 86 at her home in North Carolina.

Fuck Tony Fuckin鈥 Abbott
After the revolution
The solution
Abbott made to stand down
Send him to Hanover down town
Spend a term there
Maybe then he鈥檒l care
Fuck Tony Fuckin鈥 Abbott
Let the boats in, I say
Don鈥檛 turn em鈥 away
The politician鈥檚 oversight
Illegals 鈥 no
Declaration of Human Rights
That鈥檚 the UN
Say it once again
Fuck Tony Fuckin鈥 Abbott
People waiting in dole queues
He鈥檚 giving me the blues
Mental illness is rife
Due partly to his strife
Fuck Tony Fuckin鈥 Abbott
When it comes to the end
