Annunciation.

“The Afternoon Meal”…by Evert Pieters.

Annunciation.

’Twas a given, that righteous annunciation from time immemorial be,
That women would be the child bearers, men provide for their security,
Such is the scheme of the natural world, that no man nor woman may despoil,
But there comes a middle-class of opportunists that demand change,
Calling that women must abandon their right to prioritise children born,
Instead embrace that class’s command, to make career first-childbirth forlorn.

Who gave permission to that class to dictate personal opinion,
As if it was from some “divine” diction ordained upon middle-class instruction,
Just to enable them to capitalise on a cheap labour solution,
Such speculators to swindle the working classes with promise of “riches”,
From such employment to guarantee wages equal to King’s ransom,
Earned by labouring overtime as checkout chick or domestic cleaners.

This is the only promise those liars and opportunists can deliver,
Using cunning language instilled from their private school mentors,
That the parents can afford from similar past accrued riches,
Following a long, long line of middle class crooks and swindlers,
Claiming to be the best of friends and working class assisters,
Proclaiming that the denial of children is a career enhancer.

“Career, career!” the mantra chant from the lips of barren middle class slavers,
With all the figures from a statisticians’ survey, calculated from “average wages”,
Of the highest paid slaves serving their bourgeois masters,
While those same opportunist owners raise the cost of living faster,
Than can be afforded from such “fantastic” wages,
Forcing workers to take more jobs, work harder, longer, for pay-master.

Such is the profanity given as promise in their blasphemy against humanity,
The core and foundation of blind, egregious bourgeois philosophy,
Delivered from pulpit, from senate lectern with a tone of gratuitous flattery,
Of course there IS a condition assigned by force and circumstance,
That demands disgraceful compliance of working class servility,
Of endless obeyance to their creed of cursed materiality.

Making mockery of the once honest work of crofters and crafters,
Scorning the raising and feeding of the child as like cow milking,
Persuading young couple to delay any offspring,
To an older age when money and career is more entreating,
Till the mistake is learned that nature favours not older childbearing,
And the women are left barren or reduced to surrogate pleading.

No..No..heed not those double-speak middle class with their “Gordian Knot”,
Of un-natural adherence to a philosophy of grab what can be got!
Cursing others who want family instead, as not being equal, deserving their lot,
That women would child-bearers be, with men to supply for their security,
Such is the scheme of the natural world, that NO class of society may disagree,
’Twas always a given, that righteous annunciation from time immemorial be.

  A Small Pebble.   A small pebble. I crossed the Murray this morning…the Mighty Murray River…on the ferry at Swan Reach and I picked up a stone from the one side, carried it across on the ferry and placed it on the other side. I did it because of a story my mother told me years ago that I just remembered as I drove up to the ferry… My mother grew up near the river. She worked as a house-maid at both Punyelroo and Portee stations near Swan Reach before and during the second World War. Many times she was called to accompany the Lady of the House to cross the river on a flat-topped punt, used for ferrying supplies across the river there at the station. She told me of an old German hand there at Portee who, whenever he had to cross the river, would pick up a small stone, a pebble, carry it across and place it on the other side….my mother asked him why he did it….he was at first reluctant to tell her..but she persisted… “Well, girlie”…( that’s what...

  The Ties that Bind.                            “Wanderer above a sea of fog.”  Where I live. I have opened a new blogger account specifically for this area where I live so as to promote stories and history placed in this locale.. https://underthemalleebough.blogspot.com/ for it is imperative to preserve what I call the “Historical watermark” that has been “impressed” upon a locale…it is such a thing that fixes and holds a place in time and allows the people living there to feel..and that is the correct emotion..”to feel” a part of that history and so identify with confidence to a place where they are living their lives…to destroy the in-situ history of a place is to debase one’s own life..It is why I feel a strange comfort whenever I descent off the higher land down into the Barossa Valley. it is because th...

  Memories of the early days of Mannum district. (These several “recollections” were contributed with thanks, by Helen Tuxford).   Lost Innocence by Dean Frahn. My first school was the Cross Roads Primary School, 8km east of Mannum, which I first attended in 1948. This school closed down two years later, and the school bus then collected all the children and transported us to the "big" school of Mannum Higher Primary. Suddenly we were bereft of our innocence — the most startling change being that we had to wear shoes to school and instead of 14 of us there were 500. The little school was like home away from home as all the children of the seven grades were in one room and the older ones cared for the little ones, just as they would have done at home. There "amenities" were minimal. No electricity, no running water, no flush toilet, no paving, no nothing really. But we were happy, really happy, and our teacher, a Miss Davies, was just so beautiful and kind ...
