REFUGEES 27/10/13

Say goodbye my dear

Say goodbye

I hear the sound of bulldozers snarling

Say goodbye to Aunty Ethel

She must die within her home

Say goodbye to mother Mulga

For she has sustained us well

Our homes must go to feed the humans

So that they can become fat and wealthy

Say goodbye my dear

Say goodbye

The bulldozer is almost upon us now

Say goodbye to Uncle Pete

He must die within his home

Say goodbye to father forest

For he has sustained us well

Our homes must go to feed the stock

To make the humans more fat and wealthy

Come, I can take no more of this

It sickens me to my soul

We must join the exodus

Refugees within our home

We will die upon the road
