    Still too young to fail
    Too scared to sail away
    One of these days, I'll grow old
    and I'll grow grey
    One of these days

    If that was true then Wilde and the boys would never have sold any of their literature.

    I tried not to like it but couldn't do so as a poet lol, only problem I have is the repetition of "and" at the start of almost a quarter of the lines. I don't know if that was intended in
    And malnourished bodies pack coffin ships
    And stumble across the step
    And end up in flat green fields

    For continuity or flow, which is a nice idea, but when used with "and" it does seem a little childish (refer to how a child talks of a day's events). Other than that, and even in spite of that, a good read.

    ps: Australia is rubbish
    The use of 'And' is deliberate to convey the repetitious trudgery of the issues raised in the poem.
