Australia's Shame
Overcrowded housing
Homeless people on the street,
Below the line of poverty
Through the freeze and heat.
Whilst others are suppressed
With hope not found as yet,
Within the lucky country
Where most are all in debt.
Diseases and sicknesses
Stress from being poor,
Elders sleeping rough and scared
Frightened to their core!
Equality will never be
when equity unknown,
Hence I'm ashamed to call this place
Australia my home.
