This poem is an *IA Writing Competition (creative work category) entry. The Holy Creed of Carbonus RexIn the land of Terra Firma, where the sun doth brightly shine,There arose a curious sect, with a doctrine most divine. No robes of white, nor beads of prayer, nor incense filled the air,But suits of grey and tongues of gold preached salvation without care. Their temple was a boardroom, with a table long and grand,There they gathered, devout disciples, to make their final stand.

Australia, land of Altjira, of oceans wild and skies untamed,Where stories of the Jukurrpa are told in songlines proclaimed. Australia, land of Altjira, of oceans wild and skies untamed,Where stories of the Jukurrpa are told in songlines proclaimed. Yet underneath this broad expanse, this dust that shrouds our past in gold,Lies history’s wound, still open wide, beneath our feet, still damp and cold.

A Nation of Apologies
Australia, land of Altjira, of oceans wild and skies untamed,
Where stories of the Jukurrpa are told in songlines proclaimed.
Yet underneath this broad expanse, this dust that shrouds our past in gold,
Lies history's wound, still open wide, beneath our feet, still damp and cold.

Australia, land of Altjira, of oceans wild and skies untamed,Where stories of the Jukurrpa are told in songlines proclaimed. Yet underneath this broad expanse, this dust that shrouds our past in gold,Lies history’s wound, still open wide, beneath our feet, still damp and cold. And now, a nation stands once proud, with noble gestures in its hand,But hollow words, mere fleeting sighs, like shifting dunes on ancient land.

In the glow of the screen, where pixels dance and flicker bright,We trade our days for data streams, surrendering the night. Our minds once clear, but now cluttered, hum with endless scrolling,In the depths of cyberspace, we’ve bartered hearts for trolling. The morning sun, obscured behind the blinding, blue-lit haze,No longer calls us from our dreams; instead, the screen’s bright blaze.

Behind them stood second tier personnel, lightly armed. Then, barricades, followed by horse mounted police. Holding up...
