MY BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE

Episode 3:  Introducing Bucky Fuller  and his  city to set people free   

 

 

I've brought along some friends of mine, they'll help you understand
there is a better way to live
your life upon this land.

Here's a chap that you should meet, his name is Fucky Buller
Ouch! he's jabbed me in the ribs
he says, "It's BUCKY FULLER"

Now, Bucky here can fill you in on where you're going wrong
He says unless you change your ways
you're sure to get the 'gong'

There isn't that much time you've got to rectify the mess
To have a clean environment
you've got to do with less

You're gobbling up the Planet with estates by the score
containing such few people who
keep calling out for more

Now Bucky planned a City that would set the people free
to live their lives with Health and Wealth
and in Security

It was for East St. Louis but of course you might have guessed
the plans went in the shredder and
his City laid to rest

The architecture Fives allow are symbols of their power
mainly Dead Museums or the
Phallic Eiffel Tower

No matter that there's wealth untold belonging to all men
But Fives will charge you for it,
yet again and yet again

Bucky tells in 'Critical Path' the role that man must play
Technology and Nature
will combine to show the way

And 'over-population', Bucky said, is just a lie
it's 'over-use' and 'over-lords'
who pinch your piece of pie.

Your cities are fast cracking up, you'd better read his book
and get things right by cracking down
the landscape's lookin ' crook

ET, I said, Why pick on me? I don't know silt from clay
and feeling rather fearful, asked
"Who was that here today?"

He's only one of many who are wanting to be heard
There's Mrs. Gunn, Ned Kelly too *
may want to have a word

I said from the beginning there's a lot you have to learn
if you wish to change your way of life
to that for which you yearn

We'll leave you for the moment but you must do your research
on what the Fives are up to
as they sit upon their Perch

We'd like to help you all we can, it's really up to you
to open up your eyes and heart
and let the truth come through

My name is Mrs. Aeneas Gunn, my book you may have read
It's called The Little Black Princess
about The Living Dead

I'd like to stay and talk with you, if you wouldn't mind
to let you know that harm can come
from those who think they're kind

At the time, I wrote my book with all the best intentions
I never dreamed that genocide
could come from interventions

I speak now of Tasmania, of Trugannini * too
and a Race of people who were
trusting, tried and true

How could they know the Greedy Fives would never choose to share
or join with the Custodians
and live a life that's fair

For sharing was the Essence, yet the Heart, the very Core
of living on this fertile land
and Loving was their Law

 

THE CONQUERORS

 

 

 

They were hunted, they were poisoned, of land they were bereft
to an Island they were exiled
till not a soul was left

To the Island came a man to teach them meek and mildness
Christian virtues misconstrued,
he killed them with his kindness

The moral of this story dear is to try and teach the Five
that awareness and repentance
may help mankind survive

But it's Loving without owning that frees mankind from care
and yet the most important of them all
is teaching man to Share
