Poem for Scott Morrison

from our burning country

The country glows

Animals burnt to their toes

He says it’s natural, looking down his nose.

Family homes torn apart

Memories left in the dark

Beside his wife and kids for Hawaii they embark.

Firefighters dying behind their hose

Off the peoples’ back come their clothes

We did not choose him as our leader, it really shows

In a crisis true colours shine

And we will all be fine

Without him and his coal mines.

So listen now Great Scott

A leader, you are not

Walk away before the country is forgot.

For long after this demise

At the end of all our cries

Together from the ashes, we will rise.
