~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the ocean
flaming orange.. red.. and gold
burning oil
~~
a fantasy
no… just nature being so
amazing... beauty..
~~
a gouldian finch
a rainless rainbow
dry food for some
~~
catch a falling star
don’t forget protection
or wait till it lands
~~
a cow jumped the moon
they meant a kangaroo
those Australians
green leaves falling
trees felled in anger… no
hungry elephants
~~
waterfalls dying
rivers struggling… lost their way
climate change is real
~~
water rat swimming
hungry otter hunting
another tail downed
~~
life on mars
probably… you should of checked…
before you ate it
~~
the worm turned
long… thin… pointed both ends
how would you know
~~
springtime gardening
planting… potting… digging… burying
the police were called

What you don't like my god, rat a tat tat .
You want to rule yourself, rat a tat tat .
You don't believe in monarchy, rat a tat tat .
You're a socialist, rat a tat tat.
You want food and water, rat a tat tat.
What a roof over your head, rat a tat tat.
You will not fight my wars, rat a tat tat.
You're a freeman your having a laugh, ha ha ha
I live in a mansion I'm a millionaire , ha ha ha
My rules don't apply to me , ha ha ha
My family will not go to war , ha ha ha
I'm your government. FIRE
