Respect is sadly lacking
\nFor the iconic Kangaroo
\nFarmers send them packing
\nGovernments do that too
\nCreation the most splendid
\nDiscovered long ago
\nThe need for a pack macropods
\nPart of the great flow<\/p>\n
Of energy for Australia
\nA survivor that could be
\nAdaptable and reasonable
\nTo the land and so we see
\nThese very unusual animals
\nWhose ability outshines
\nAll others which is probably
\nWhy its name enshrines
\nThe coat of arms
\nThe airline
\nThe air force
\nAnd some coins
\nThe international rugby shirts
\nInfact its name conjoins<\/p>\n
Almost every element
\nCreations greatest gift
\nMOTHER Natures farmer
\nWith that all important lift
\nPlanting and dispersing seed
\nEverywhere they go
\nPreventing soil erosion
\nThey really truly know
\nThe importance of their actual place
\nThough ruminants they be
\nAble to discharge the gas
\nAnd transform it purposefully<\/p>\n
Cattle and sheep however
\nThey chew the cud ofcourse
\nBut are highly pollutive
\nMethane is a force
\nRoo’s convert to acetate
\nWhich creates their energy
\nMade to survive the arid plains
\nAnd biodiversity<\/p>\n
Manunkind is ignorant
\nToo ignorant for words
\nAnd tragically he is arrogant
\nAway with the birds
\nToo much of what he does relates
\nTo his ego and his bank
\nBalance and his balance sheet
\nAnd in that case he is a rank<\/p>\n
Outsider in the race to be
\nA hero in this world
\nA carer and a giver
\nNot a taker that is hurled
\nInto the works of many
\nProviding a lot for the few
\nTheir design was well thought out
\nAnd sure
\nReally a dream come true<\/p>\n
And to think that farmers
\nAbusing cattle have the new whip hand
\nNot only to illtreat and cripple
\nBut fail to understand
\nThe true proliferation
\nThe refashioning of life
\nWhat is the true production
\nWithout the need for strife<\/p>\n
What is the power of the many
\nThe almighty spiritual power
\nThe potency and the energy
\nThats available every hour
\nThe life force and the staying power
\nThe unflagging way to be
\nReinforced by Aeons of culture
\nWild and free<\/p>\n
Whereas the weakness of the farmers
\nVast water reserves they need
\nMethane gas production
\nThe land ruined indeed
\nAnd its all about the balance sheet
\nThe meat trade so to say
\nEverything must suffer
\nBut not be costed
\nThey get away<\/p>\n
With too much the true cost
\nOf flesh sold in the superstores
\nThe air contamination that water
\nThere are scores
\nof costs which
\nAre just lost in figures
\nBut the bottom line
\nNeeds really to be tripled
\nAnd paid for by those who dine<\/p>\n
The cattle and sheep will all be killed
\nIts a negative charge we see
\nA never ending soup kitchen
\nFor the farmers who now be
\nOn handouts at the lobbyists ear
\nAnd allowed to scream and gripe
\nPutting up fences and shooting Roo’s
\nWhich in essence is so much tripe<\/p>\n
There is no moderation
\nIts violence all the way
\nStrong arm tactics murdering
\nWe see it everyday
\nCruelty and torture
\nIt shouldnt be like this
\nThe Kangaroo is a saviour
\nDesigned to offer bliss<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
