Abbotts Legacy - Killing Humanity
Like an upright bowl
the moon hangs filled
with starry light
sparkling in your eyes
Stained glass celestial orbs
consume the night sky
beings of mercy swim
in poisoned clear blue waters
I've watched the death of innocence
sunburned noses turn north
far along the rabbit proof fence
they search for nirvanas shores
in beds of dirt and grass
they hunger for the purest water
to fill the belly of their soul
jackaways swoop tearing holes in heaven
spears of the light of illumination
carress the heart of the world
imagining tomorrows on dreamy seas
little brown hands grasp grass blankets
protecting satin skin from injection
in huts of mud peoples commune with gods
Riki tiki shakes bones from crowns thorns
yesterday is in eyes not wanting tomorrow
humanity calls with her bag of tricks
pressing the hard sold achlmey of science
failing to bind their wounds they flee
a blessing would be the unclothed hamartia
ego calls again to the weak and weary
following the death of a modern world
Yet forgotten customs rise their heads
they seek golden shores of opportunity
only to be turned back with a tryants buck
sitting on the shores disappointed hosts
packing away a welcome mat head lowered
ashamed of our Queen and Country, yet again
