The Land Down Under
Australia keeps burning but what are we learning?
Who cares about the kangeroos when we can still
see them at our zoos..
Koalas are cute even with burned feet but how many
koalas are you slated to meet..
Fifty million animals now dead
"it's not global warming", is still being said..
Millions of acres the fires have now reached,
people fleeing burnt homes to reside on the beach..
Too many in power, too many politicians,
choosing monetary gains over restricting carbon emissions..
Mother earth had no choice after raping her resources,
to retaliate in anger and show us her forces..
I pray for rain and a little thunder and for our friends
who reside in the "land down under".
