Aborigines

We should all be equal
In the eyes of the law
But it just doesn’t happen
And I know what for
They were the first people
In all lands and they
Were there first
The guardians
And every day

They took on the planet
The countryside too
They learned what to eat
How to live
What to do
Settlements came
And violence came too
Aboriginies died
They were attacked
All that’s true

We see it in England now
Immigrants coming
On small boats from
Africa
it is mind numbing
They get the treatment
Put up in hotels
Everything’s paid for
They left their hells
And came, mostly men
At the end of the day
The existing people lose out
Anyway

Racism rises no integration
They live their own lives
There is no salvation
The Aboriginies born here
And they
True to their faith and themselves
Live
Each day

Now what we see the natives
Are sent
To towns far away
Seemingly meant
They live on the knowledge
In the outback they stay
Closer to the earth
Scarred more so each day

They had their dignity
They did their thing
The new arrivals what they did bring
Was their own culture
The Aboriginie
sunk into the earth
Believed to be free
