Is every paradise truly that

Kiribati a mass of islands
In the Pacific Ocean where
Climate change and carbon
Is causing such despair
The king tides are now coming fast
The land risk is so high
Low lying land is being swallowed up
And this is why

The place has got to worry
Perhaps more so than we
Who live away from oceans
Who live miles from the sea
But all of us must concern ourselves
To a general average claim
Where loss is shared by all of us
And no one takes the blame

Imagine this island Paradise
Where the sea now meets the sky
The people are losing land each day
The ocean is hungry and why
The great big industrial nations
The loss of forests where
The burning and the atmosphere
Are creating such despair

Short term profit long term loss
This is what we see
The power is in the corporates hands
The indigenous are made to be
They are many of them existing
All around this world
But their future in these atolls
Tragically is hurled

Skywards whats the future
Where can these souls go
To Fiji to New Zealand
To Australia they know
They don’t see themselves
As refugees
The moral changes here
What is right and what is wrong
To me it all seems clear

Humanity is failing
Some are dirty sods
They ruin bloody everything
And then pray to their gods
They have so many churches
But their hearts are already dead
They care nothing for the victims
There it has to be said

All this industrial pollution
Its bloody everywhere
Slash and burning causing methane
Blackening the air
Someone else is suffering
Its a general average claim
But they are facing all the risk
And getting all the blame

Kiribati and the Marshall Islands
And other low lying lands
They are in the front line
Trying to make plans
For the future of their children
Where will they have to go
Migration with dignity
A kind of natural flow

Meanwhile the waters are rising
The pollution is coming too
The western shit is being deposited
On their beaches who
Is responsible for this carnage
The corporates exclaim
The indigenous need helping
But are seen by some as game

To be just well discounted
Let the ocean come
They are just a problem
Part of why the dumb
Down are also problems
Humanity becomes
A violence not a peaceful mass
Who communicate with drums

No they are flinging bombs about
And radiation too
Killing innocent children
The world is mad my view
The corporate solution
Is just to do away
With all these bloody people
So they can save their day

In their underground bunkers
The politicians will
Feel the ocean coming fast
For Nature can instil
So much force and danger
Into even their sick hearts
This beautiful planet
The indigenous gave us
We rule in fits and starts

We allow the evil empires
To ruin all we see
We allow the weak to conquer us
When before we were so free
We are slaves to their emotion
And the ocean is rising fast
We must help the front line nations
Or our future die is cast

now it is Kiribati
Soon it will be London Town
Everyone is facing risk
And one day all may drown
We have to open up the eyes we were given
Long ago
We have to love our neighbours
Or perish in the flow

We all are fucking guilty
In many ways we can
Turn ourselves into angels
Flush the devils down the pan
Kick out these myriad tyrants
Tell them where to go
Otherwise there is no future
Which, I think most of you know
