Chunder Down Under

DON’t  CHUNDER DOWN-UNDER!

In the land of the Southern Ocean
Legal forces have been set in motion
Binding those who once wandered free 
With restriction: imperious decree
When did wild and free spirit take flight
What became of ‘No worries! She’ll be right!

Once a destiny set for enchainment
Was transformed to a land of attainment
With demeanour of free careless rapture
Like a will-o-the wisp hard to capture
Then fear came like a thief in the night
Where now: ‘No worries! She’ll be right!’

Let that old psyche bring remission
And defy decrees of politicians
And of those who would cower in fearing
Of a threat enabling  domineering
Bring a future that still can be bright
With: ‘No worries! And with: ‘She’ll be right!’

Clever! Makes me think of the prison colony it used be. Masked in a pandemic…
