Australian Uniqueness Burns


Crying Land




Australia, vast and wild, is in flames
No one is responsible, but many are to blame
Global Warming! Someone exclaims,
Leaders of the world play with Earth a ballgame.


Foreign camels are being shot by snipers,
For drinking 53 gallons of water
They’ll become part of a blotter
They are now just a cipher.

Camels used to be 1.2 million in total
In a year or two, I’m afraid, this will be anecdotal
A billion animals are lost amidst this madness
What a shame! This is really a direness

 
2500 homes are ravished
The fire has caused lots of damages,
Land is crying, it has perished
We dare to call animals “savages”.

Lost wombats, koalas, kangaroos,
Insects, snakes, and horses too
Someone is responsible, but who?
This is a world that needs better things to pursue.


Civilization is killing nature,
No habitats, no rain, no water, no glaciar
Australian land is dyhadrated, parched
Dessertic, now covered by ashes seems starched.

97.000.5 Square kilometers are destroyed
29 people have been killed in this devastation
3000 Australian Defense Force reservists are deployed
Nothing is enough when on time you don’t take action.
