On race and sex and unexamined assumptions
“In our future you wouldn’t look twice” is the DASO’s slogan on these posters. The very fact that they have sparked such controversial debate and attack is indication that we, as a people and nation, are still so naive and immature in our views.
I look forward to this future whereby race, nudity and sex are free of unnatural prejudices and we focus on more important matters of our existence.

Shit Yogis Say. Haha.
I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe I can change the world
I realise this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
But this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evidence that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope
And all this will come true unless we choose to reverse it
There is hope
It is foolish to presume that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It will be evidence that
My peers and I care about this earth
No longer can it be said that
Environmental destruction will be the norm
In the future
I will live in a country of my own making
I do not concede that
30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
Experts tell me
This is a quick fix society
But this will not be true in my era
Families stayed together
Once upon a time
I tell you this
Family
Is more important than
Work
I have my priorities straight because
My employer will know that
They are not the most important thing in my life
So in 30 years I will tell my children
“Money will make me happy”

“Happiness comes from within”
I realise this may be a shock,
but I can change the world and I refuse to belief I am part of a lost generation.

You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!
They call the Third World the lazy man’s purview; the sluggishly slothful and languorous prefecture. In this realm people are sleepy, dreamy, torpid, lethargic, and therefore indigent—totally penniless, needy, destitute, poverty-stricken, disfavored, and impoverished. In this demesne, as they call it, there are hardly any discoveries, inventions, and innovations. Africa is the trailblazer. Some still call it “the dark continent” for the light that flickers under the tunnel is not that of hope, but an approaching train. And because countless keep waiting in the way of the train, millions die and many more remain decapitated by the day.
A poem by Julie Peters called Tantric Philosophy on “finding God in the softness inside my mouth, the deep bruise of birthmarks, the red-cheeked back of my hand, and muscles like meat before I tenderize them”. :-)
Julie came in 1st place on the 2nd of January with a score of 56.2 at the Vancouver Poetry Slam.
