Kangaroo’s are in the news for all the wrong reasons

Creation
that’s the wonderment
that some around can see
the vast expanse of fauna
the flowers the plants the tree
the animals
those sentient souls
who share this land
we call
Earth
their worth
extraordinary
valued by us all

sadly not
the Kangaroo
gets a rotten deal
he is no pest
we know the rest
and is not much of a meal
the average kangaroo
when killed
its yield is very small
perhaps 2 kilos
of edible flesh
yes Mrs that is all!

and for that you end the life
of
a precious iconic soul
who was here before you humans
and has taken on the role
of a remarkable Australian
whose now known everywhere
but only found in Australia
where he’s given much despair

of all the kangaroos each year
a fifth will be done away
shot by some vile hunter
hiding they will pay
the price for their true freedom
a bullet in their brain
from some shot away sick hunter
who themselves are on the wane

any compassionate person
can see that this is wrong
can feel the soulful melody
remembers the old song
Matilda she is ringing
through the bush now day and night
and will be till the kangaroos
are gone
when day is night

a compassion less society
who lets its Government do
what a it feels it has to
will come to see and view
the policy as stupid
as wanton bringing woe
to joey’s and to mothers
as most around here know
