There is a wickedness out there
\nSo sinful and wrong
\nAnd the innocent suffer
\nThey have all along
\nIt\u2019s the egoist self seekers
\nEach Covetous creep
\nWho monopolise soul urge
\nAnd then fail to reap<\/p>\n
The censure of guilt
\nFor respect was away
\nWith the birds it was missing
\nBlame didn\u2019t Play
\nInto their psyche
\nSo hollow so weak
\nA Hardness of heart
\nHardly unique<\/p>\n
A soul in distress
\nIn the floods one could hear
\nEmpathy calling
\nGood will and cheer
\nResponsiveness loud
\nIn the heart of a man
\nWho leapt into the water
\nAnd then began<\/p>\n
To enter the spirit
\nTo fight and to win
\nTo save a dear soul
\nWhich then did begin
\nTo rattle the consciousness
\nAnd cause some to
\nAttack the respect
\nAnd his love that was true<\/p>\n
Having lost all his home
\nHis possessions too
\nSwept away by the flood
\nIn his heart he was true
\nA joey was drowning
\nThe wildest of souls
\nLosing the battle
\nWith life\u2019s strict controls
\nAnd Ray Cole was on hand
\nHe could hear its pleas
\nOver the sound of the water
\nHis knees
\nshaking no doubt
\nBut wanting to try
\nAnd rescue this creature
\nHis love to apply<\/p>\n
It happened the little ROO
\nPlucked from deaths door
\nA hero was born
\nBut resentment was raw
\nRoo hunters angry
\nWrathful with ire
\nSuch indignation
\nMade them perspire<\/p>\n
So much antipathy
\nAnd odious thought
\nToward Ray for saving the beast
\nThey were caught
\nUp in that maelstrom
\nOf collective gall
\nUnable to free themselves
\nOr overhaul<\/p>\n
The displeasure they felt
\nThat one of their fold
\nMight risk all he had
\nTo try and take hold
\nOf a spirit possessed
\nBy the flood and the foe
\nShould be saved and returned to the outback
\nTo grow<\/p>\n
His colleagues at work
\nHad sunk to a low
\nDisrespect of the wild
\nCity life as we know
\nCan turn people crazy
\nYet Ray clearly showed
\nHis true inclination
\nAnd his inner child flowed<\/p>\n
The joey was safe
\nHe recovered to go
\nBack to his wild life
\nWith so much to show
\nBut Ray got a beating
\nFrom work mates and he
\nWas finally fired
\nIn effect, he was free<\/p>\n
Sadly too many
\nShooters abound
\nThey murder and maim
\nThey just love the sound
\nOf the bullet leaving the rifle
\nAnd they
\nFramed in the spot light
\nThe end of the day<\/p>\n
For a mother thats feeding
\nA joey inside
\nHer pouch
\nDare we vouch
\nFor these bastards who hide
\nEarning a crust
\nFrom the meat trade who sell
\nThe corpses for pet food
\nAnd all kinds of Hell<\/p>\n
RAY COLE is a man
\nWith a heart and soul
\nA genuine angel
\nWho took control
\nAll life is sacred
\nNo matter who
\nAnd for me he has risen
\nTo a height good and true<\/p>\n
So much resentment
\nFrom the lowly breed
\nAll the hostility
\nMust not succeed
\nAntagonism
\nAnd persecution
\nFor them in an instance
\nIs not a solution<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
