The Anger Of Nature

The anger of Nature comes at a huge cost
In South Queensland in huge floods human lives have been lost
Thousands of homes have been flooded in many a town
And large tracts of countryside covered in flood waters of brown

The anger of Nature does instill a great fear
On people and most other life forms so often we read of see and hear
On radio, on t v, the internet and in newspapers every day
On natural disasters not distant from where we live and from places far away

The anger of Nature is beyond our control
In flood, earthquakes, fire, volcano and storm she takes a heavy toll
On property and lives she leaves in her wake
Death and destruction and tears and heartbreak

In South Queensland in riverside towns and large tracts of countryside
Brown flood waters rise like a great inland tide
The anger of Nature an irrestible power
Before her the bravest have been known for to cower.
