Tumbling Calamities

By GDW

I can't get my head around all these
After a political coup we've had tumbling calamities
Controversy abounds, power-plays come faster
And we're rocked by disaster after another

We thought the SC decision will fix all, but PMNEC happened,
We tried to handle that, and the Governors General happened,
We tried to work that out, and the Police Commissioners happened
We tried to deal with that, and the floods happened

We tried to deal with the floods, and the land slipped
We tried to handle the slip, and the soldiers mutineered
We tried to work out the mutiny, but the ship had sunk
We tried to focus on the ship, and the CJ ran out of luck!

Lord knows what'll happen next!
Just watch the phone we'll know by text
Facebook'll break to us the news
Some storm of late, shall again rock our shores

We blinked, and our nation's changed
Landscapes-politically socially, physically....rearranged
At the snap of some fingers; but who's fingers?
Among the people mostly it's hurt that lingers...

We asked for, no we demanded, change
But we didn't bargain for this kind
And now here we are lost and deranged
Angry, mad, demanding one's faulty behind

No time to grieve, not even to anger
No time to rejoice, pleasure none, no glee
Hurting and lost, forever confused
Take one week for yet another cuppa tea

Ol' Pete crowned himself at an opportune time
For in these calamities he truly can shine
But a cloud hovers o'er his head
A crisis that I pray soon be fixed
What our Mama Lo says bout him and that seat...

Pray tell what becomes of us all!
Does nature unleash it's disapproval?
Have our sins and our leaders' folly
Brought wrath on this nation wholly?

God Bless Papua New Guinea...
