Australia

A continent on fire 
fueled by fossil fuels.
Mother nature will not cry
our stupidty she will not  deny.
As nature pays a heavy price
to add a bonus on some  fat cats pay .
All creatures great and small 
payed a heaviest of tolls.
Will the politians never see the light
and take on the global warming fight.
Or will they just  throw another burger 
on the charcoal powered  barbie.
