Aussie selfie. G’day.
Where is the humanity?
The visions on the screen haunt my waking hours
People suffering in so many ways, so many places
It’s hard to fathom it all
My heart cries and my voice shouts at the screen
The world is mad, I tell myself
The compassion and humanity I yearn to see, replaced by desensitization
What ever happened to the Great Australian nation?
Men in suits with agendas that have nothing to do with the chaos
Twisting their words, spun into grand ideals that bare no fruit
When did the public voice go unheard?
Even the average Joe knows dropping bombs won’t solve a thing
It’s a war that no one can win
Australia sure is a BIG country!

To everyone around the world this map helps explain what we Aussies are always going on about…its a big country!!

A bit late for Friday funnies, as its now the early hours of Saturday here in Australia. Thought I would share some classic Hoges comedy. Is bicycle riding really dangerous? Watch and see.
I am the Minister for Water, the Minister I am,
The Minister for Water for all of Ireland,
This fair and green county suffering such pain,
A shortage of water despite so much rain.
*
The snow it has gone, replaced by a flood,
Threatening to cover us under inches of mud,
But that’s not my care, not part of my tack,
I am the Minister for Water, not mud; it’s a fact.
*
Leave me alone; free to get on with my job,
Saving the planet while making a few bob,
Lining my nest before my time it has gone,
When I’m voted out of office having done nothing wrong.
