Aussie down under
 
 
I’m in Aussie down under, we live upside down here, and did you know that…………………?
 
The land is rugged, old, timeless, and oh so quiet, you can hear the wind talking to you, and the past peoples mutterings on the moving clouds…………..
 
It is a land that defies the gods and fought to survive, because it is the first land of all the lands here on earth. You can’t own the land, the land owns you, and will only set you free from it when you free yourself to it.
 
The colours are greys, browns, silver, gold, blues, greens and grey and more shades of grey. It is like no other land, it is the land of all the lands.
 
The seas that are around the land are gentle seas, shades of blue and green and so deep one looses themselves in their depth. They team with life, and great sea mammals that play with the children of the gods.
 
Her men are old and bent, thin and proud. These people are at one with the land and the land cares for them as her own. White man this land tried to destroy as he has scared her beauty time and again.
Cut down her fine trees that have sat there guarding the skies for over two thousand years.
Dammed her mighty tear ducts that have left her dry and barren. She fought back burning herself from end to end in her attempts to clear away these white destroyers, only to have them break her will and have her turn into herself and start the slow erosion of her body.
This is my land. I love her with such fiery passion it hurts, to see her die…
