I know the language is a bit robust, and I'll understand if this gets deleted - but it really got to me, and I can't edit it. 
Bali didn't beat us, and we knew you'd try again But once again, we're telling you we'll take the bloody pain Your bombing killed some people and you think you've made a stand Well, let me tell you something 'bout the people of my land 
We went ashore on ANZAC day, near 90 years ago Our people went to war with Turks who share your faith, you know. Today, the Turks and us are friends because we understand That killing for religion isn't something our God planned. 
Be clear that we will fight you, and we will defeat your kind If we need to, we will crush you and leave none of you behind We are not the kind of people, who go 'round starting fights But we'll help to finish them, and we will stand up for our rights 
And we do not stand alone, there's Yanks and there is Brits We stood with them, they'll stand with us, to wipe out all you shits There's others too, of course, you've bitten off more than you'll chew But we'll stuff it down your throats, and then we'll kick the crap from you. 
We're not afraid of you, you see, no matter how you hope We'll back down when the last of you is swinging from a rope Or lying bleeding in a ditch, or shot down on a beach If I were you, I'd start running - but there's nowhere we won't reach 
You bombed our embassy, but you don't care who you killed You're mad at us, but it's Indonesian graves that you have filled You can't even kill properly, so you haven't got a prayer And when you die, there will not be a paradise waiting there 
It was said before, but you didn't learn, so I'll say it again You cannot hope to beat us, because we will take the pain You don't scare us, you mongrel dogs, you pigs, you unclean swine Us Aussies still possess the spirit that was at Lone Pine 
At Ypres, and then at the Somme, and at Villers Bretonneux At Tobruk, and at Kokoda, and wherever enemies were At Kapyong, and at Long Tan, and at places with no name The spirit that is Oz has really always been the same 
You're scum, you're filth, you're evil, and you are on borrowed time If you want to be martyrs, then we will oblige you, slime And we're not alone, remember that, we've stood up with our mates And they will stand with us, as we send you to your fates

Bali didn't beat us, and we knew you'd try again
 But once again, we're telling you we'll take the bloody pain
 Your bombing killed some people and you think you've made a stand
 Well, let me tell you something 'bout the people of my land
   
 We went ashore on ANZAC day, near 90 years ago
 Our people went to war with Turks who share your faith, you know.
 Today, the Turks and us are friends because we understand
 That killing for religion isn't something our God planned.
   
 Be clear that we will fight you, and we will defeat your kind
 If we need to, we will crush you and leave none of you behind
 We are not the kind of people, who go 'round starting fights
 But we'll help to finish them, and we will stand up for our rights
   
 And we do not stand alone, there's Yanks and there is Brits
 We stood with them, they'll stand with us, to wipe out all you shits
 There's others too, of course, you've bitten off more than you'll chew
 But we'll stuff it down your throats, and then we'll kick the crap from you.
   
 We're not afraid of you, you see, no matter how you hope
 We'll back down when the last of you is swinging from a rope
 Or lying bleeding in a ditch, or shot down on a beach
 If I were you, I'd start running - but there's nowhere we won't reach
   
 You bombed our embassy, but you don't care who you killed
 You're mad at us, but it's Indonesian graves that you have filled
 You can't even kill properly, so you haven't got a prayer
 And when you die, there will not be a paradise waiting there
   
 It was said before, but you didn't learn, so I'll say it again
 You cannot hope to beat us, because we will take the pain
 You don't scare us, you mongrel dogs, you pigs, you unclean swine
 Us Aussies still possess the spirit that was at Lone Pine
   
 At Ypres, and then at the Somme, and at Villers Bretonneux
 At Tobruk, and at Kokoda, and wherever enemies were
 At Kapyong, and at Long Tan, and at places with no name
 The spirit that is Oz has really always been the same
   
 You're scum, you're filth, you're evil, and you are on borrowed time
 If you want to be martyrs, then we will oblige you, slime
 And we're not alone, remember that, we've stood up with our mates
 And they will stand with us, as we send you to your fates

    See my profile page. Mind if I add this one to the one I've got there on Bali? 
 
National pride and all that...

To: KangarooJacqui
    Yeah, I've seen it there, that's why I pinged you - this looks like a sequel to me, though I've no idea if it's the same writer. 
 
I've no problem with you putting it on your profile page - but it's not my poem and it came to me anonymously.

    Pinging you, my "Things that make you go eww" list for a slightly more serious reason today. 
 
The same islamofascism that brought down the twin towers in NYC and put a hole in the side of the Pentagon three years ago have now trained their sights on America's allies. 
 
If ever this was in doubt, see previous threads of the carnage these animals caused outside the embassy...

Undated picture of Indonesian Maria Eva Kumalawati Muzu who was killed in the bomb attack outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta on Thursday. The suicide bomb attack also killed at least eight others and injured over 100. Maria is the mother of wounded five-year-old Australian Elizabeth Munuela Muzu who was evacuated to Singapore for medical treatment on Friday.

    If ever a group deserved someone to unleash hell on them, it's the islamofascists.

    They may think that they are creating fear throughout the world, but they are just stirring the hornets nests. 
 
God bless you all. Great poem.

    Always good to have the Aussies on our side. They aren't a large country population wise, but they make up for it in tenacity
