Going bush

Going bush is a lifestyle 
I'm not sure about a choice
More a necessity
Going off grid seems the way to go
Rain water collection will have to do
For the heating dead wood 
Gathered while walking 
On the grounds or in the nearby forest
Growing our own food 
Will take some time
To live in autarky is our new cry
For this is what it means 
Return to roots
And look after our garden
As Voltaire stated is to be wise
It may seem to you too modest
Maybe but to be in charge 
Is to be free.
