who could survive a 20 day blip?

if the water goes off we’re cursed!
we’ll plunder the dams for our thirst
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

if the gas goes off we’re stricken
we can’t even cook a poached chicken
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

if the petrol goes off we’re grounded
don’t think my thoughts are unfounded
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

if coles are unable to drive
eat money to keep the family alive?
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

there are farmers who relish the soil
and eat from their everyday toil
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

there are thieves whose backgound’s exude
they would never run out of food
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

so perhaps now you get the idea
why some sleep under the pier
claiming parks as their land
and live on their wits as the shifting sand
writing evolution on the wall
and don’t relate to money at all
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip

get a friend with a vegetable patch!
or fisher assist in your food by his catch!
when resources are down you can bid
for the bench of a homeless kid!
there are not many people equipped
to survive a 20 day blip
