Poem -

I'm one of the good ones, why should I die

I'm one of the good ones, why should I die

The honest Australian doesn't forge docs to get a job

The honest Australian tries to stay off Welfare

The honest Australian doesn't work for undeclared cash

The honest Australian tries to return to study,
instead of bludge off New Start

The honest Australian doesn't sign on a rent agreement
they can't afford

The honest Australian sleeps in backpackers or on the streets

The honest Australian is told they aren't in financial hardship

The honest Australian goes without food

The honest Australian isn't good enough

The honest Australian takes their own life
