THINKING BOUT FREEDOM
Thinking ‘bout freedom’ ain’t it funny?
Brown dirt roads and jars of honey, household stalls
Coins and ‘paper money’ days you could find what you needed along of main streets
Thinking Albury-Wodonga the Hume highways sweep
The Murray Basin cattle; wheat and sheep
A telescopic rod, my dad thought real neat,
Stereo speakers on a (black box pye) cool and functional
Streets ice cream we’d buy
Colvan crisps or might be Smiths; they are the
Borderline choices, that hit my miss. I hear
Now that Topher; is around these old parts?
Hitting the ether and telling of some
Rorts’ and of agenda 2030, that real bad plan
Persevering for freedom, trying to
Demo that contrived foreign wall planned’
It’s not that its (real visible) but it’s hard,
And cruel to all. Upon its ramparts crouch
Traitors who denounce; us aware’ as
Dils and fools, and the ways of the free
Living? They are as poison to them all!
So we blast out real messages in any
Damn way that we can call. Check out Hoody & Bosie
The (white rabbit). And more, taking a stand! Max Egan
Jhonny Larter… Prof. Ian Brighthope Neil Patterson and so many
From our own shores, dip into the alternative, give it a go.
Maybe you’ll want more? Think what happened to
Gunbower & Phillip Islands…small farmers (had to go!).
Now check the rear-view mirror…
Before you’re driven off of your own bloody feilds; streets and
Wide roads.’
