O’ mysteriousness
Complexities
Sophisticated dialects
Cosmopolitans
Preceptive Ones,
Don’t die!
Fourteen sperms
Brainy Ones
King Island
Tasmania,
Lifelessly strewn
Necropsies awaiting,
Horrific.
Two hundred
Pilots deceased
Ocean Beach
Macquarie Harbour
Tasmania,
All for one
One for all.
Schlumberger Australia
Beach Energy
Two hundred forty-two
Deadly cannonading decibels
Tasman coastlines,
More seismic subsidised
Planet cooking alive
Abysmal fossil fuels.
Open-and-shut
Cash mountains,
Voiceless oceans
Vapid Smugness,
Mewling somnambulists.
Defiant defenders
Mother lovers
Consequences be damned
Noblest stance
Fearlessness,
War cry!
