Gifted the great barrier reef
\n1400 miles
\nAlong Australia’s North East Coast
\nAnd it ticks all the dials
\nSome 3000 different corals
\nDrawing souls from near and far
\nA wonder of our world today
\nThe Barrier Reef a star<\/p>\n
Among the oceans of this world
\nAn entity of soul
\nTo observe its enduring splendour
\nAn phenomenal control
\nA life force full of substance
\nA garden Neath the sea
\nTruly a living wonderland
\nAs believable as thee<\/p>\n
A sanctuary of symmetry
\nOf magickal intent
\nIt can take your breath away
\nSo much wonderment
\nA world of total difference
\nA multi coloured world
\nIncomparable in quality
\nReally to be hurled<\/p>\n
Into this amazing reef
\nAs astonishing as it is
\nTo now have the belief
\nThat adani a huge coal mine
\nMight perch itself close by
\nMight ship vast holds of fossil fuel
\nOne collision and the risks are high<\/p>\n
A catastrophe so likely
\nDestruction on a scale
\nThe unconsciousness of the many
\nIts so beyond the pale
\nAn inappreciation of creation
\nDown below
\nCrass ignorance and arrogance
\nAs they watch their profits grow<\/p>\n
Unfamilarity and unenlightenment
\nSuperficial knowledge
\nThats just how it went
\nUninformed kept in the dark
\nUntutored maybe so
\nMisreported somehow
\nUnfounded as we know<\/p>\n
Its injudicious actually
\nCoal is a filthy fuel
\nIndia doesnt want it
\nIt really is no jewel
\nTo build the biggest coalmine
\nThe world has ever seen
\nAnd plonk it close to the barrier reef
\nHas to contravene
\nEvery law Imaginable
\nAustralia please try
\nAnd use the sense you were born with
\nTell ADANI why<\/p>\n
They have to stop their madness
\nThe risks here are too high
\nYou grey suits haven’t got a hope in hell
\nSo now apply <\/p>\n
Some commonsense the sun the wind the waves
\nThat energy is what this world is needing now
\nNot coal TAKE IT FROM ME!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
