Kookaburra

 

Verse 1

Kookaburra stares

Unwavering and long

Needs are simple

Prey to keep him strong

 

Verse 2

Evolved in time

The perfect hunter

Takes only his needs

No need to plunder

 

Verse 3

The adder waits

Motionless and still

His needs are simple

To eat only his fill

 

Verse 4

Striking hard and fast

Death is quick

No unnecessary suffering

For his prey is it

 

Verse 5

The crocodile emerges

From its hidden lair

Only when its hungry

It hopes to snare

 

Verse 6

One large prey

Is all it needs

Storing the carcass

For ongoing feeds

 

Verse 7

Man gorges and plunders

Stuffs and wastes

Greed fills his belly

To overflow from haste

 

Verse 8

He cares not the consequences

Damage or pain

Cruelty is no concern

For mans reign
