Poetry To End Prohibition

Poetry to End Prohibition was written by James Arthur Warren aka Thundercloud Repairian over a three year period of living in NimbinThe first time I saw the Tawny frogmouth I took the photo on the cover. The next morning I found him dead on the ground, That was in 2016. In 2019 Living at Lillian Rock, a healing place I saw the Tawny Frogmouth and his family again. The Tawny Frogmouth on Prohibition poem was written over a period of months. The first visit from the Tawny Frogmouth came one morning before Nimbin Mardi Grass in 2019. He appeared twice more that weekend and each morning I wrote down the messages that he brought me. I ended up with five large poems including one on women's incarceration. I took the five poems honed, edited and practiced until perfect and delivered them in the 2019 Nimbin Performance Poetry World Cup. It was a while before I saw him againthe tawny frogmouth came and told me about his pain The last time I saw him this is what he said, Publish your book I heard it in my headPublish your book to eliminate my painProhibition is driving me fucking insaneProhibition destroys lives of the rich and the poorPlease change this insanity, please I implore
