MY BEAUTIFUL NEW ZEALAND!Land of the once free
Where is the integrity and honesty of the past?
What happened to the backbone .....
and the hearts of good men and women?
Why are they suddenly spineless?
..... Is the Kiwi Spirit dead?
The charlatans have even denied your nation’s name
And replaced it with shame .....
And the people look on in cowardly silence
Your own people ..... rendered speechless
no longer have they the courage to stand and defend you
......Are you lost now .... forever?
The charlatans are killing our democracy
as the people look on in bewilderment
The charlatans are embracing Apartheid
where once we marched to oppose it
Where once there was brotherhood
.... there is now separatism, turmoil and division
Your people always pushed back against racism
But now - they embrace it - like a new dogma
.....The odour of hate is at large
Where have all the New Zealanders gone?
Have we reached the end of them?
