Off my face talking politics...

Title: Off my face talking politics!


In New Zealand that often means: Get pissed - Talk Shit - Do Nothing!

But...in contrast...

Many other parts of the world it means, that when talking your 'politics' - you could literally loose your face, freedom or your life


...I saw some war photos.

Not a sanitised media release where disrespect is shown to honourable soldiers by not even showing their caskets, essentially blinding the public to the true depravity and personal loss of war.

These were images I was most likely not supposed to see.

In amongst the mess was an image of a ripped off face lying discarded in the dust next to a cigarette butt and trash. Unreal! It got me thinking... how disposable a life... that human life rendered unrecognisable ...still so serene... but...


Who was that guy...

...a freedom fighter?

...a Terrorist?

...a martyr?

...a man of honour?

...a criminal?

...a despot?

...a son?

...a brother?

...a father?

...a baker ... engineer ...musician... poet ... ?


who cares...it doesn't matter! ...he was off his face talking politics...
