The Land Down Under

by Mouse, Capricorn - Not entered

Secluded from other lands,
Your boundaries mark the sea.
The Barrier Reef adorns your limits,
Brimming with kaleidoscopic fish.
Ayers Rock stands in the middle
Of your sunburn desert plains.
White man invades your land
Killing Aborigines who once roamed free.
The kangaroo’s fur reflects the sun’s light
Which shines down upon you from dawn to dusk.
The koalas are glimpsed from down below
As they feast on the food you provide.
So filled with beauty and old traditions
Your land forever will be.
