Notes About The Poem

 

This Poem is about our beautiful wild Brumbies here in Australia, who have been slaughtered by our uncaring government. Bloodlines are being wiped out unnecessarily and the heritage of our country has changed forever. These horses have been photographed for years and are cherished world wide, now they run in fear and too many have already agonizingly died from gun shot wounds, including pregnant mares. It is heartbreaking.

Spirited Beauties

To the barbaric knobs who made the call
to cull our Brumbies, down you’ll fall.
Such a horrible death, with so much pain
what you’ve done is rotten - insane.
You murderous pricks, this won’t be forgot
shooting our Brumbies, I hope you rot.
So UnAustralian, sickening to the core
such filthy liars, corrupt and more.
You’ll pay for your crimes, the fights just begun
the helicopters will turn, so you’d better run.
People are awake and asking why
you murdered such beauty from ground and sky.
The blood that shed is on your hands
it’s you who’ve destroyed our precious lands.
Not the horses so spirited, wild and true
but gutless people who haven’t a clue.
These Horses are cherished by many world wide
they roam Kosciuszko with peace & pride.
Shame on the Government - soulless hypocrites
the world is watching, you total Dimwits! 
Part of our history is being erased that’s clear
these majestic beauties now run in fear.
So united we stand, Justice we seek
we are the voices, for horses we speak.
