“The Four Horsemen and the Zombies of Tasmania

The voters complacent the politician now leads
He’s just a cog in the business of greed
He does not protect; he exploits and devours
He serves not the people, but money and power

The religious turn the message of love to hate
Their arrogance that only they can see Heaven’s gate
They oppress women and those they deem strange
But the abuse of the children shows just how deranged

The general orders a soldier’s fate
To kill his brother and sister, he must not hesitate
For the politician and the religious, he must always serve
From blind obedience, he must not swerve

The Power of Money is king over all it surveys
You are a slave of debt till the end of your days
It’s a way of control; you would wake up if you knew
That the sweat of your labour benefits only the few

Be free, young ones; show us a bright new way
Let not the four horsemen bring your life to decay
But be careful, young ones, for they are easy to find
They are waiting there, lurking in the back of your mind

Lily Dayton, Hobart Mayor, year 2090”
