Once more on the radio,
I heard an elder share this tale of ...
Woah!
A quarter of a century without drinking water!!
This problem just must go!
So-
I’m sending out
This shout out,
To
Who?
To You who listened to this show,
To show you care about this tail of water,
That’s a human right for all God’s sons and daughters,
Stop saying the government aughter!
Get off your duff !
Help solve the problem of unsafe drinking water!
Enough is enough!
Folks pitch in all the time I know,
To help with far less dire woes,
So –
Stop your bitchin’ in your kitchen,
Surely you have at least a quarter you can pitch in,
Help set up a government grant,
For water distillation plants,
All across the native lands,
For all those bands,
From whom you stole these native lands!
If you dare,
To show you care,
See the fundraiser we’re setting up,
To put clean water in these First People’s cups!
For further information,
On helping fix this situation
Please write, and
do it tonight!
