Une Nation Disparais
“Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer”.
“One People, One Nation, One Leader”
Hitler’s motto
There’s a new dark force adrift in Australia
With frightening follies in its regalia
Freedom of speech is what they promote
It’s one sure way to get your vote
You can curse your foes with lies forsooth
Under the guise of telling the truth
Their mocking of Muslims is a disgrace
This crowd, like Hitler, loves a master race
And it’s jobs for Australians first and foremost
Therefore ravage all migrants and cook them on toast
Net Zero will destroy the land that we love
So let tempests bring pillage down from above
Human activity won’t cause climate change
It’s just business as usual; how very strange
But see wildfire created like Satan’s breath
Hear people’s screams as they burn to death
Observe if you will each horrendous flood
Where you drown with your kitchen immersed in mud
Or notice the farms devastated by drought
See the crops ruined and dust storms about
You hold nuclear power in high regard
Yet you won’t put the waste in your own back yard
Now watch that show off don those hijabs
It’s satire she says but attention she grabs
Hey, come along citizens now it’s time to vote
All these stark truths then are what you must note
This loud mouthed puppet funded by a big name
Deserves not a moment of illicit fame
If you vote that way all virtue will bend
And the good world we know will tragically end
Naplan Begone
On Naplan, sadly used
as an attainments test
The lower half is half our future
Dear teacher did you really read my answers really truly read them really truly?
What I wrote was true–
My darling mother died
When I was only ten.
It is true I didn’t understand
We’d never meet again.
All I knew was pain
It is true my world was full of fables
It is true that every kindness ceased
I was too afraid to learn my tables.
It is true my father ran away
When his world seemed to end.
It is true I searched the human race
And couldn’t find a friend.
It is true I longed just one more time
To hold Mum’s hand in mine.
It is true I jigged away on trains
To the end of every line.
It is true you are busy every day,
Planning and doing your work.
So much to read and so much to say
That it’s only rest you shirk.
But why did you talk about full stops
And little slips of the pen
And give me an E on my report card
And make me write things again?
Dear teacher did you really read my answers really truly read them really truly?
One Nation Rock
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock rock
It’s time to give the world a shock
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock rock
If you vote for us you’re off your block
Four o’clock, five o’clock, six o’clock ping
It’s time to make the prevaricators sing
Four o’clock, five o’clock, six o’clock ping
If you listen to us alarums will ring
Put your glad rags on
Have some fun
The age of deception
Has just begun
Dance our jig
At a furious pace
And you’ll be part of
The chosen race
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock boom
The future with us just reeks of gloom
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock boom
Belief in climate change will be your doom
Four o’clock, five o’clock, six o’clock woke
Support of net zero is just a sick joke
Wear your huge hat
Win some delight
The age of duplicity
Is ready for a fight
Prepare to win
Reach for the skies
And victory will be yours
Amidst our fury of lies
Halfwit’s Rag (A Party Song)
Hey there
Go put your white coat on
Foreign intruders are too far gone
Hey there
Time for Australians
No jobs for aliens
Climate change stinks
Our neocon thinks
So we foster a role for coal
Zippedy doo it’s halfwit’s rag hubahuba hi baloo!
Hey there
There’s a tall tale for the herd
They’re convinced by lies absurd
Hey there
The Party will by magic get a house for you
And then act like a louse for you
Tell you more lies
Than stars in the skies
And ethnic variety is dead
Zippedy doo it’s halfwit’s rag hubahuba hi baloo!
Hey there
Put your TV on
Or you will be frowned upon
Hey there
To shape your views
Tune in to Sky News
But to be hale and hearty
You must quit the party
Before you turn into bullshit
Zippedy doo it’s halfwit’s rag hubahuba hi baloo!
On An Unnamed Political Figure
Listen to them
Ranting against immigrants
Like a mob from the Ku Klux Klan
What a tiny, distorted mind they reveal when one speaks
Carefully ignoring reality
To promote their own significance
Words for them are weapons of deceit
Beckoning the followers who vote for them
To build castles of pretence in the troubled air
Can you hear this one?
The fraudulence?
The chicanery?
The cunning?
The craft?
It is a whistleblower with a tainted whistle
An orator from the dark side of the planet
A disciple of racist rogues
This person is given the right to speak
By the bigotry of others
Who chose her to taint a public arena
She is today by her deeds in public
A harpy with a vicious condemnatory tongue
Her public life is marred by the ideas she spreads
That portray ruthless fantasy
Condemning innocents
Rigorously, blandly
With total injustice
There she rages now
Creating headlines with her sinister statements
So remote from kindness
From justice
And from truth
That she colours her destiny with contempt
You ask me for her name
I decline your request
As a prelude to her future
For she will eventually be forgotten, forever
