Sydney dust storm

is only found in quantity
in central Oz

not too long ago
millions of tonnes
were blown across the continent
to empty into the sea
off the East coast Sydney

anyone that has spent time in the centre
would verify its ability to find its way
into everything thru the smallest cracks
and perforations

Pine Gap, the NSA surveillance installation
in central Oz is surrounded by red dust
it's Australia’s way of leaving a trail
that’s easy to follow
it’s almost impossible to completely remove
it from machinery and other equipment

one of our team decided to check out Pine Gap for himself
he is an engineer, his speciality
is useful

remaining outside the perimeter he observed
a number of humvees emerging at speed with dirt bikes
headed directly for him and his observation camp

pre-planned for immediate re-location,
he quickly loaded his four-wheel drive and took off
with the seppos in hot pursuit

imagine, an Aussie in OUR red centre hotly
pursued by fuckin’ foreigners, seppos!

they seemed happy to chase him away
and didn’t venture far from the perimeter

the next time we go to OUR red centre
two Oz veterans will accompany our engineer,
a trained and highly proficient long range
sniper, the other, a Sigs expert

it’s about time we purged these invaders
/occupiers from our land
and our dreaming

we are expert at creating media frenzies
and international incidents

War criminal with 5 U.S. Bases, back-stabbing treasonous lackey bitch
