Bora born
The middle way _
On a muddies' morning you'll hear thempla sing
spruking their mates on thredbo's sure winter fun.
The nation's borders closed for summer pursuits
a winter plan for the alps what's there to lose
laid back, tanned up dressed down by cairn's autumn sun.
Oh! thempla people, half come from somewhere else
cultures to bottle in language to sustain.
Overseas they must fly as if on the run
monied wealth to blow on their setting suns, in
a round robin of comforts to ease the pain.
Their kids entitled, indifferent to all, wealth
never ending, drawn on account from raw stores.
The pay back in quiet moments of the night
never ending cycles of magic so bright
sheepled lives consumed by desires to have more.
Pull back, stretch out with your carnal minds, settle
in a place yupla feel there's more room inside
for your humanity exposed as it should
to the oppressed backlit by what if I could
the no choice of awareness pressed to imbibe.
