shouts the irate fist passing in his 4×4.
Others wave and blow their horns.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s been cold and wet.
The workers come and go,
and most don’t want to know.<\/p>\n
some still denying we\u2019ve had enough,
and the police are here, standing off.<\/p>\n
Trashing jobs, these radical yobs.<\/em><\/p>\n
Growth at all costs, forget the children to come.<\/em><\/p>\n
Keep the subsidies going, and we\u2019ll keep it flowing.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u2026 silent screams…..<\/p>\n
Just the slow, background sound of extinction.<\/p>\n
Keep it in the ground.
A just transition for workers,
a transition to justice for people and planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
