Damn you Rena – By SE
The cargo ship RENA hit our reef
Tauranga has now a pouring of grief
The oil has spilt and covered our shores
due to an idiot breaking marine laws
Why why why is money such a sin
because it make people think pretty dim
The ship was in a rush to get to port
More bucks, was what the captain thought
Local people suffering disbelief and shock
and sitting and waiting around the clock
for action to happen to lessen the stress
not much happening except a hell of a mess
People are stressed, helpless and crying
our clean and beautiful environment dying
Our economy hurt by the rugby world cup
but we are strong and will clean this mess up
People of Tauranga with spirit so bold
we will see some action real soon unfold
the beaches will be cleaned by amazing troops
until now it’s been hui, with a pack of goots
The signs say it all ' less hui more doey'
the stuff on the beach is black and gooey
Our people are not scared to get in the muck
and will simply take action and clean it up.
Go forth beautiful people with heart and care
get on your gloves and cleaning up gear
our community will fix this working together
no matter how much we face bad weather
People here have so much to be proud
in the summer the beauty brings a hug crowd.
we will get back to our pre Rena days
because we work together in all sorts of ways.
Get out Rena we don’t want to here
for our beaches and wildlife you didn’t care
away to the dump yard we want to send
you and your lifespan has come to an end.
