Apology
Apology
I just
heard Australia say they are still open for business.
Pretty
brave given all that they have witnessed.
I guess
that is the normal reaction.
Get the
money wagon back on its trackin’.
They said
some of it is still okay.
Not all of
it was burned away.
They say,
“Come down and give us a try –
You can
hardly hear the koalas cry.”
And I know
all of it is our doing.
And I know
all of it is our fault
And I’m
just so fucking sorry.
I guess
maybe I just don’t understand,
Why we
treat our world with such a heavy hand.
None of
the destruction is at all unplanned.
We won’t
be done until it’s all sand.
But until
then let’s make sure that we’re well tanned.
That Earth
satisfies our each demand.
So we
won’t feel so much as the earth dies
As we hardly
hear the koala’s cries.
And I know
all of it is our doing.
And I know
all of it is our fault
And I’m
just so fucking sorry.
