On this moonscape, that is now Australia for ash is all we see, this devastation so prevalent only the blind can do not see, the smell it speaks a thousand words, they that the pictures do not tell, for this sense it does not lie my friends unlike some politicians on the hill
And If not for the bravery and for the courage of a few, & if not for the care that these people did give for you and me, much worse would be the outcome more grief would fill the air, like the stench of our own fauna, now gone for evermore
horror is this testament a Holocaust yes here in this land of shrouded beauty now lost in the flames of fear, the wildlife wiped away you’ll see, gone on clouds so hot and unlike the ashes of that sporting game, a cheer they will have not
family’s torn and shredded, loved ones gone and lost, this season of celebrations now marked down now as never to be forgot, property’s lost forever life’s chattels torn apart the memories of a lifetime a shadow that only time can heal somewhat
And to the heroes of this story the volunteers who stood their ground like the diggers on Kokoda of you we are so proud, each should get a medal each should be held high for they did show the courage that made this country yes so proud
And now the proof is what we’ve seen and heard, that politicians have had there lot, when a game of bloody cricket is more important than this horror that is burning oh so hot, let’s give them the bat my friend and sock them for a four, or six would even be better, over the boundary and gone for evermore ..
