Australian native wild life disappearing and on fox you put the blame <br />But red fox would not be here if white man never came <br />'Twas the aristocracy introduced reynard for the hunt on sunday <br />And for the mistakes of colonial man there is a price to pay <br /> <br />You say that the fox is vermin i can't agree with you <br />For the fox can't see no evil in anything he do <br />If he kill native wildlife he has to kill to live <br />And he don't have guilty conscience yet him you can't forgive. <br /> <br />It was our white ancestors who brought reynard out here <br />But when i say such things to you, you turn the deafened ear <br />If fox kills rare marsupial he feels no pangs of guilt <br />And how can you blame the innocent for blood that has been spilt. <br /> <br />The aristocracy introduced the fox for to hunt him on sunday <br />And for the mistakes of the past there is a price to pay <br />And for the destruction of native wildlife on fox you put the blame <br />But fox would never be here if white man never came.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-fox-you-put-the-blame/
