The people of the Carteret Islands are about to make history. They will not be the first people to lose their homes because of global warming. Rising seas, expanding deserts and changing weather have already displaced many, possibly millions of people. But the people of the Carterets may be unique, as they begin to abandon their atoll, one of the first peoples in the world to do so.

Carteret Islands 4min
Posted on Nov 08, 2006
wrote this poem. when i first heard that starr'd died. was living at irene, where indymedia's office had been. (we thought he'd o.ded) didn't post it nowhere then. afta went to funeral, well, couldn't. but now, unexpectedly ended up making docos and, thinking its important to share more than just our eyes:
make o bento
for the old soul to go home
fuck bro
all i got for you this poem
never too close
always soldered
so fucking solid
made art to act
face facts
fight back
eyes to catch
the slavers lash
& now you ash
thorn in the crown
defender of sacred ground
of you we’re proud
rough star come down
mechanical black
skin you earnt outback
kin with all activists
opening up cracks.
but now our country attacked
dozer tracks
smash us back
& now we lack
one more long the track
thorn in the crown
hurts your brow
wore you down
burden in suicide drowned
melbournes my home ground
grown up in protest crowds
when pip was catching sound
npa a silent clown
over rooftops of councils
with lense moon scented
in the dirt of sweatshop irene
he sewn seeds for dissenters
in image hooked them fishes
and let them out for the billions
look after our comrades
this ain’t a fucking tirade
just lets give back up
the same what he gave us
soldiers and artists
in solidarity
put your hands up
make o bento
for the old soul to go home
fuck bro
all i got for you this poem
