The cries that started in the 1980's have turned into wails of distress.
Water Thoughts 24-7-15
NEVER 1980’s
Never has our water tis such a finite resourse.
Been so badly managed as we’ve alter its course.
Never has development been allowed to proceed.
To concentrate benefits and foster such much greed.
Never has ignorance continued to grow.
As the facts of destruction continue to show.
Never have so many, contributed to the wealth of a few.
As Australians no longer receive what their forebears knew.
Never will our grand kids see what used to be.
Until the whole community open their eyes and see.
Never will the rivers health be or run the same.
Untill we change our mindset and use our brain.
Never will we see the changes until we make it so.
I pray we have the courage to make our rivers flow.
Cause if we miss our chances we might not get another go !!!
NOW 25YRS ON.
Petty politics remain the rule of the same old tone.
We have lost big picture with lessons clearly shown.
All the while the Murray Darling debate continues to roll.
And the health of the river focus continues to take its toll.
The “Environment” now placed in a cosy side spot, not in the light.
In direct competition to “Community” needs, way out to the right.
Really don’t mean to be rude but you don’t have a clue.
The Environment IS Community and it is time to give its due.
There is more community in our habitat, environment’s other name.
To hand this finite resource to the selected few is really quite insane.
Water imbalance it remains, and it will not go away.
Until we put in our planning, what environment has to say.
It is telling us that the rivers, some have stopped to flow.
And the storage dams that fill from them are very very low.
When dams are replenished with expectations very high.
More than half of it evaporates straight up to the sky.
So back to where they started and very clearly shows.
Dead rivers and empty dams ultimately hold no dow.
2019 State and Federal Elections
We have a chance to make a change.
As climate change seeks to rearrange.
The water system god put in place.
Water management a complete disgrace.
We are all water users with water needs. Seriously !!!
