ALL THIS DEVASTATION
(a monkpunk tale)
by Sir Eido Boru OCBM
a Celtic Buddhist Bard
FIRE! FIRE!
burning so bright
in our Ozland
one hell of a sight
lives and homes
have been saved
by our firefighters
ever so brave
now our army
and our Navy
doing great acts
of personal bravery
burnt out towns
now simply ash
on the charred grounds
mums and dads
and kids too
saving koalas
and kangaroos*
here come our mates
to help us out
the Yanks # and others
bringing their clout
donations of everything
are flowing in
on trucks and planes
and food in tins
school kids selling cakes
and women all the clothes
they can make
sporting folk tossing in
all their games’wins
now this bloke from Western Oz
gave 70 million
just because…
he is an Oz
I sit and breathe in tearful meditation
I have witnessed
all this devastation
I love my fellow man
watching them
make a stand
WE WILL WIN!
