Australia how mean
how blatantly obscene
exposed to it all
just watching them fall
the great wheel of death
where they lose their breath
where they feel the pain
and perish again
hose the blood down
of the bloodiest gown
of the slipperiest floor
that no one could ignore
tethered we see
eyes gauged terribly
alone in the world
where they have been hurled
its a terrible place
its born out of disgrace
the exporter, who
was responsible to
humanity
lost in the sick stew
Australia’s Cattle
went into a battle
and lost it when they
were all made to pay
those who bore witness
cried at the sight
egregious demands
devoid of all light
a terrible darkness
descends on us all
as the victims plays host
to the blood and the gall
Gaza we kneel
down and bellow in pain
no sanity here
just again and again
the circle of death
is all we can see
is all we can feel
on one bent knee
the frightening pose
in a spirit that knows
with the ultimate prose
a soul clearly goes
