An irreverence for Nature
A stony indifference to
What was infact imagination
And Science taking the view
A Matter of course
Perhaps disbelief
But so Felt that arrogant streak
The mothers of all mothers taken for granted
She Responded by showing some pique
Wildness of course it feels sacred
Tangible palpable real
Deep-down deep-seated deep-set ingrained
Indigenous people reveal
A humbleness and self-effacement
Unassertive unimposing for they
Have The concept of wildness
And instinctive consciousness
Clearly its always in play
Creative control
based on contemplative thought
The ethics of being
The momentum of seeing
Absorbing and freeing
Ideas that were sought
Uninterest and incuriosity
Knowing without being there
Wrapped up in a topic
Addicted perhaps
Indifferent and so unaware.
How those unique beings
Anxious to be
Forewarned and forearmed
Their fulfilled destiny
Up against arrogant feelings
Of worth
Who care very little
About Mother Earth
Who imagine that they
Have the whereforall to
Ride roughshod over
The wholesome and true
The coming together
Of fauna and sky
Of the animals put here
Who no one asks why
That divine prophesy
Sagacious and wise
Where all is connected
Under the skies
Plants aid the animals
And that is why
At the end of the day
Man cannot apply
The short term examples
For ominousness
The gathering clouds
The prospectus where stress
Is not from far sightedness
But postulation
Man calls himself kind
From an ignorant station
Introducing animals
From far away
In the hope it will
Re balance others in play
There is protection
Which is always around
Gastrolobium plants
Plants that abound
Monofluoro acetic acid
Created within them
In doses that may
Counteract strongly
With imported beings
brought here to safeguard
Problems of the day
In essence the local iconic
Creatures
Would eat and develop
Sound immunity
Whereas the fox and the rabbits
Would suffer
From synthetic 1080
Poison and be
Protected long term
From what is consumption
Warning shots cast
In the stomachs of man
Amounts of 1080
From organic chemicals
Slowly increasing
Which was never the plan
So our natural mothers
Respect
Is upon us
We have the whereforall
And immunity
And humans who came here
Long after our arrival
Will come to a sinister
End Thankfully
This factor could see the downfall not only of man
But those who choose to eat or to use any of the wild
Iconic animals of Australia. For by eating them
The build up of organic 1080 may present a problem
They never imagined possible. The magic of the minimum dose
Could end up putting an end to kangaroo consumption
And so eliminate this ghastly trade once and for all.
