To be unimpressed
\nWith the gift of Nature
\nThe integrity of the Kangaroo
\nNobility in a principled order
\nIngenuousness both good and true<\/p>\n
A constancy and an ancient breeding
\nUnsullied and honourable
\nBorn to be
\nBounding the outback
\nFrank and open
\nTruly Australian wild and free<\/p>\n
Up against wickedness
\nAnd immorality
\nLawbreaking devilry
\nIntiquity
\nFacing transgression
\nFrom unscrupulous shooters
\nThe Meat Trade
\nWhose callousness
\nIs seemingly<\/p>\n
Given legality
\nBy politicians
\nStubborn and obdurate
\nConscienceless too
\nCondemned and found guilty
\nOf Indigenous outcomes
\nNo poetic justice
\nWhatever they do<\/p>\n
Their timelessness wisdom
\nTheir truth and their sanctity
\nNow overlooked by the cities of Shame
\nEvermore concrete and tarmac and housing
\nAnd loss of the bush
\nAnd the Roo\u2019s seen as fair game<\/p>\n
Designed for the land
\nCreated divinely
\nElysian Fields
\nTheir paradise won
\nNow torn a\u2019sunder
\nBy barbed wire and shooters
\nAnd flashlights and ignorance
\nUnder the sun<\/p>\n
Murdering females slaughtering joey\u2019s
\nCondemning so many night after night
\nLegitimization of ignorant farmers
\nWhose cattle and arrogance
\nAlso are not right<\/p>\n
Destruction of the earth
\nWith the hooves of the ungulates
\nAlien creatures also who will
\nBe cut down in abattoirs
\nIn Our tropical heartlands
\nRivers of blood ofcourse we do spill<\/p>\n
Temperateness and true moderation
\nAbstemiousness is the trait of the Roo
\nThey are not gorging locusts
\nThey care and are thoughtful
\nTrue thoughtful natives
\nOne of the few<\/p>\n
Our lack of respect
\nOur wildest dishonour
\nOur scorn and our mockery
\nIrreverently
\nIs really insulting
\nAnd so disapproving
\nOf Nature itself
\nLacking true courtesy<\/p>\n
What ought to be done
\nOur Bouden duty
\nTo prove our morality
\nAnd to let be
\nBe duty bound
\nTo the wild ones around
\nEngage in their upkeep
\nThose who run free<\/p>\n
We have obligations
\nOf impartiality
\nTheir unswerving character
\nWe must proclaim
\nThey need our protection
\nWhere house builders flourish
\nIt\u2019s not Kangaroo\u2019s
\nShould be taking the blame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
