The iconic ones
\nYour judgement stuns
\nTo stoop down to this low
\nA place in whats called retail
\nWhere no one needs to go
\nThe Kangaroo has leapt into
\nOur hearts for so many years
\nDepicted on great rock art
\nAnd now in bags, our tears
\nAs history reminds us all
\nColes descends into
\nA swamp and darkness follows
\nHow can this be true<\/p>\n
Four different bags of Kangaroo
\nOn Coles shelves today
\nSuch irreverence of a native
\nSuch dishonour and they pay
\nA price for being Australian
\nCreated to be so
\nTotems in the finest sense
\nWith an eternal glow<\/p>\n
Injurious decisions
\nDenigratory
\nTo marginalize bush angels
\nTo create such treachery
\nUnique in all the world they be
\nGodly and alone
\nThey have noble integrity
\nAnd a constancy they own<\/p>\n
To see their flesh
\nTo see their bones
\nSold off in packaged sin
\nProfitting from such shamefulness
\nThat seems to underpin
\nThe need to assist the Meat Trade
\nTo carve out unconscientiousness
\nFalsehood and injustice
\nVillainous distress<\/p>\n
I can’t abide you selling out
\nA wild soul in this way
\nIts treasonous chicanery
\nAnd I do regret the day
\nThat Unscrupulous persuasion
\nQuestionable as to why
\nA retail outfit such as you
\nWould lapse and mystify<\/p>\n
Do you have to be so wicked?
\nSuch heinousness abroad
\nTransgress into our psyche
\nWho can now afford
\nTo allow our hearts to harden
\nAs unprincipled we be
\nTo take up the temptation
\nOf desirability<\/p>\n
To murder our wild kangaroos
\nAnd sell them in your stores
\nAdvertise their gracelessness
\nExpecting some applause
\nIts felonious and nefarious
\nScandalous and wrong
\nTo authorise more shooters
\nTo support the delinquent throng<\/p>\n
Murdering the females
\nStomping on the kin
\nThe joeys decapitated
\nFor me just to begin
\nTo write such truths such ugliness
\nAnd imagine it can be
\nHappening even faster now
\nThat Coles has audaciously<\/p>\n
Joined the raids on nature
\nOn totems of the plains
\nThat she would lower standards
\nFor their ill gotten gains
\nSlaughtering the wild life
\nThat was put here to protect
\nThat has done so for millions of years
\nAlways circumspect
\nAs genuine as ever protecting of our land
\nRespected by the people
\nWho did understand<\/p>\n
People who imported cattle and sheep
\nInto this place
\nWhose hooves have torn our lands apart
\nSurely the disgrace
\nTo search into the night skies
\nWith floodlit four by fours
\nShooting down the innocent
\nWith the softest kindest paws<\/p>\n
Their babies and their sucklings
\nMurdered in a thrice
\nButchered in the darkness
\nAmid the flies a price
\nNo creator ever imagined
\nOn a gift given away
\nThe Kangaroo was Iconic
\nAnd now its forced to pay<\/p>\n
And that Coles is now complicit
\nAiding and abetting
\nA blunder a omission
\nAnd possibly is netting
\nProfit out of evil
\nOut of disrespect of life
\nAs the butchers in the darkness
\nDispatch our angels with a knife<\/p>\n
Amid the flies the bacteria
\nThe dirt the dust the pain
\nSo many roo’s are injured
\nAnd hop away, disdain
\nagony
\nWill run them down
\nA death as slow that we
\nImagining their terror
\nBut ofcourse we do not see<\/p>\n
The joeys and the pinkies
\nThe miracles within
\nEaten by the eagles
\nThe atrocity of sin
\nCensurable and deadly
\nNothing pious here
\nThe only possible atonement
\nIs to stop this
\nWhich is clear<\/p>\n
To me
\nAbandon this
\nprofilgacy
\nThis insatiable appetite
\nFor slaughtering the Australians
\nWho in their purest light
\nAre shown to be self-disciplined
\nEconomical and proud
\nThey are ruminants who produce methane
\nBut are one of the crowd
\nWho utilize it for themselves
\nAs a cooling energy
\nUnlike the cattle and the sheep
\nWho are bucking synergy<\/p>\n
The methane they produce
\nAlas
\nDestroys the ozone and we
\nSee climate change now threatening
\nIt was never meant to be
\nThe kangaroos are a friendly tribe
\nHere to guarantee
\nlong term survival for us all
\nas so lets let them be<\/p>\n
Lets use the brains we were born with
\nAnd remember the aoens before
\nColes was ever thought of
\nThat the kangaroo’s were sure
\nThat aboriginie people
\nTook charge and ruled the land
\nAlongside all the animal tribes
\nWho all instinctively understand
\nThe need for wildness everywhere
\nFor betterment was the rule
\nFor moderation and caring
\nAnd temperance for all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
