THE "EX LUCKY COUNTRY"

A Land of Politicians full of spin and blatant lies,
Couldn't answer a question without deflecting if they tried,
They turn up at your worksite wearing helmets on TV,
They try to get your vote and hope that you will never see,
That they've sold us out, making us the Unlucky country.

There are Bankers making profits that are off the reality scale,
Small Business under pressure until they inevitably fail,
Interest Rates climb in a Housing Crisis is that how it must be,
The Elderly turn off the heat to save, skip meals and they agree,
That these days, we are living in the Unlucky Country,

Activists and Fanatics jockey for position in our Schools,
Want to turn the system upside down and change all the rules,
Wokeness, Gender Fluid, LGBTQ there's no boundaries,
Intolerantly teaching tolerance is their favourite cup of tea,
Looks to me like we're living in the Unlucky Country.

A land of great resources for plenty to use and share,
But big business wants to charge us for breathing the air,
The prices keep on rising due to inflated economy,
The poor are getting poorer and neglected Elderly,
That sounds like we're living in the Unlucky country.

Preachers sell out God for fancy cars and Gucci suits,
Raking in the money, church leadership is in cahoots,
They've forgotten that by example they've become the most guilty,
Selling their false doctrines for a modest tithing fee,
Sounds to me like we're living in the Unlucky country.

Teenage Criminals break and enter stealing cars without any fear,
While the Government whispers platitudes in our collective ears,
They upload their crooked adventures in a Social Media spree,
Gaining followers & getting likes on misdirected technology,
There's no doubt now, I'm living in the Unlucky Country.

Ambulances ramping, Patients sleeping in Hospital halls,
Grown men with hoodies spray graffiti over the building walls,
Society is collapsing and it's all just meant to be,
Say goodbye to reason and to a just democracy,
You understand, we are now living in the Unlucky Country.
