attracts<br \/>\nOther serious aspects<br \/>\nLets look at the facts<br \/>\nWild life works in tandem<br \/>\nWith the grasses and the plants<br \/>\nIts all worked out in Nature<br \/>\nNothings left to chance<\/p>\n<p>Farming on the other hand<br \/>\nIs about the individual<br \/>\nWhat they choose to do<br \/>\nAnd grow<br \/>\nOften at odds with life<br \/>\nThere should be an understanding<br \/>\nThat does not add to the strife<\/p>\n<p>Habitat destruction<br \/>\nIts out there that we know<br \/>\nTimber and Faunal extinction<br \/>\nChanging plants we grow<br \/>\nThe Great Mother<br \/>\nKnows the secrets<br \/>\nThe farming industry<br \/>\nKnows what it is  doing<br \/>\nBut its still a mystery<\/p>\n<p>To some who do their own thing<br \/>\nAlongside the WILD<br \/>\nthe Kangaroos are useful<br \/>\nThey were so designed<br \/>\nDefiled<br \/>\nby people<br \/>\nAnd detested by farmers<br \/>\nPossibly<br \/>\nThe easy fix to kill them<br \/>\nIts how it has to be<\/p>\n<p>Call it harvesting or Culling<br \/>\nDilute the actual drama<br \/>\nAnd as we all are mulling<br \/>\nOver in our minds<br \/>\nAbout how we make our buck<br \/>\nHow we make our business grow<br \/>\nHow we improve our luck<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Eastern and West Greys<br \/>\nBounding here and there<br \/>\nSome having the \u201cstaggers\u201d<br \/>\nIt happens  we\u2019re aware<br \/>\nThe Wild Life Act Protects<br \/>\nThem<br \/>\nBut its  easy to make a fuss<br \/>\nTo blame the wild life every time<br \/>\nIts so easy to cuss<\/p>\n<p>To forget that the land<br \/>\nWe occupy<br \/>\nLong before we came<br \/>\nWas occupied by the wild life<br \/>\nNever seen as game<br \/>\nThey are in fact wild farmers<br \/>\nCarrying seed and life<br \/>\nPart of  the eco system<br \/>\nNot just adding to the strife<\/p>\n<p>Understanding history<br \/>\nCaring for those who<br \/>\nAre living and dying<br \/>\nIn the outback<br \/>\nAnd many are its true<br

seats<br \/>\nAnd not the wider world<br \/>\nIts easy to scream harvest<br \/>\nEasy when its hurled<\/p>\n<p>In the house and elsewhere<br \/>\nKill the bloody sods<br \/>\nOpen up the market<br \/>\nWho cares about Gods<br \/>\nThats all mumbo jumbo<br \/>\nWe humans rule the roost<br \/>\nDon\u2019t listen to the Indigenous<br \/>\nWe just have to boost<\/p>\n<p>Our power here<br \/>\nThe old Kangaroo<br \/>\nDoesnt have a voice<br \/>\nNor a vote<br \/>\nAnd so we note<br \/>\nOur only blooming choice<\/p>\n<p>Is kill them<br \/>\nShoot them eat them<br \/>\nThe leather industry<br

don\u2019t vote<br \/>\nBut what you have to see<br \/>\nIs they dears are Iconic<br \/>\nThey were out here long ago<br \/>\nThey have lived in utter harmony<br \/>\nAnd they really know<\/p>\n<p>The outback they are in it 24\/7<br \/>\nThey are there<br \/>\nThey cut their cloth as to their god<br \/>\nThey understand despair<br \/>\nBut man is his worst enemy<br \/>\nHe sadly fails to  see<br
