The Australian Bush

The Australian bush,
Clean, diverse, divine landscapes,
Fading away.
The sun beats down on the dusty earth,
Lonely Western-Barred Bandicoot
Tearing away.
Dehydrated, empty plains, filled with dried, weak shrubs and bushes
Worthless, they vanish away.
The worried Western-Barred Bandicoot
Diminishing, less and less in sight.
A future of possibilities
Plummet, as they lose the flight.
Oh, little Western-Barred Bandicoot,
You wane away.
But it’s too late,
There’s no more time for you to stay.
