A Country Ablaze

As fires engulf the nation

It’s hard to comprehend

How we have been forsaken

By the government at hand

Our countrymen are falling

Coated in ash, sweat and tears

Fighting a war with mother nature

That’s been brewing in her belly for years

A raw result of negligence

And ignorance, at its best

Too late to save our wildlife

They never stood a chance

We are crying, we are angry

Outrage fills our lungs

Through smoke screened towns, burnt to a crisp

Fleeing to the water, with our young

This should not be our lives

In the golden country of Oz

It’s time for us to take control

And fight against what’s wrong

We are the country of battlers

Of sunburn and true blue’s

But how do we continue fighting

When our leader continues to refuse?

To acknowledge the times

To assist the helpless

To show that he bloody well cares!

These are trying times for our country, indeed

Times once only in our worst nightmares

So enough’s, enough

Says I and the rest

It’s time to get out

Put your weary head to rest

ScoMo, it’s time to go!

Get on your bike and leave us to our own

We’ve made it this far, without you and your co

You know it’s the truth, time to stop the show!

Let the dust settle, and from the ashes, I hope we will see a true leader rise

For the phoenix often spreads its wings, and heals from it’s demise

Australians, we are better than this; we are a united, courageous front line

We have hearts bigger than the sun, so it’s time to let them shine.
