Could be worse

Violent Silence

The clouds of mind so dark and grey

Pitiful rain on a sunny glaze

Wear my wide brim wear my rays

That nuclear fusion should fade away

The systems easy the systems fun

We got to vote the day is almost done

My fridge is empty I have no car

but I pay the fare for the shelter and bar

How ungrateful how needy I be

for I must be blind the world across the sea

Yes vaccinate the globe it was so simple then

And still starving children weep why and when

Hope restored our savvy leaders

Saluted history for the misread readers

Fact checkers fact checking f*****g you up

you said it seemed off we said WRONG WRONG WRONG

now listen all peasants the world is nigh

so make us a sandwich and dont you cry

oh sorry dear reader

I am losing the sense

to make any

any of this

The water is dirty here in the mighty Australia beach

Employment is rife and it is most certainly out of reach

we needed a tap to secure the taste

and now it is world war three we faced

and faces so many masked and two

mandates vision a future collar blue

no need to thank them they have us in mind

these politicans care so just do what we do

Aussies unwind

Just let it all go! have a barbie my friend

Be the racist prick you know you can

blame the migrants the torched and damned

they must of caused it they are not your friend

Yes get another bloody beer and talk s**t to your mates

This beautiful culture that Americans make irate!

We must be the best we do it all!

When it comes to disaster the prime minister stands tall!

We have not sold ourselves offshore we have plenty of money to fall!

No matter the curse we always appear to have a blessing

So cheer up ya flamin mungrel cause it could be worse

Could be a bluey in the back of that hearse.

Author's Note

I am from a mixed race background but i was born and raised in Australia and the culture has been a laugh but when I really examine our great country well it feels like Americans who wake up to themselves...We are not great infact we are pretty f*****

'Could be worse' is so apt, mate! Today's battlers share the act of struggle toward being... and funny how a once migrant nation settled down and became pomes to what once was termed new Aussies or FOBs and such. We still are a migrant nation and will continue to be in the near future... yet the denial and the xenophobia rides along in pace, and now the nation seeks to be woke to boot. Bloody ripper of a yarn here, thanks for sharing your poem/song/composition.
