The Death Of The Australian Farmer
Your family settled the farm
Bought the land
Built houses and barns
Raised crops for food
On the land you thought you owned
You said no when the mines came in
The land was yours
Still, they drilled and dug
Poisoned your air and water
Killed your crops and animals
Eventually, they used threats and abuse
Given by permission from Canberra
They angered you when your family left
They needed to get away
The miners made your life worse
As long as they were payed
The government didn’t care
They didn’t even care when you held a gun
And placed it against your head
A second later you died with tears in your eyes
Still, I don’t think Canberra will care
They will not stop taking farmer’s lands
Not unless they get paid to do it
