“MY DREAMTIME”
© Ross Magnay 8/6/06
I’m the spirit of the outback; red dust is in my veins,
I am the rugged mountains, the droughts and flooding rains.
I am the trees and flowers; I’m the rivers and the sea,
the fires and the famines they are all a part of me.
I am the whole worlds’ animals of feather, scale or hair,
from in the sea or on the earth and those up in the air.
I am the ones that long have gone, I’m those still yet to be,
everything this old earth has, it all belongs to me.
I am the ruler of the land, of all that I survey,
no matter what you try to do, I’ll have the final say.
And you will never beat me though for centuries you’ve tried,
I am the reason you have laughed and so too you have cried.
I scorn your false religions that give cause to kill and fight,
you try and prove to all the world that your beliefs are right,
and still you worship idols, and things you cannot see;
while everything since time began is all a part of me.
I am the one who started time; I’ll be here when it ends,
and you can be my enemies or you can be my friends,
but if you choose to shun me that won’t bother me at all,
for I am mother nature and I’ll make the final call!
