We steal peoples identitities
\nWe homogenize their senses
\nIndistinguishability
\ntheir huge power snd their magick
\nFor the whites it appeared
\nTo be
\nbeyond their understanding
\nRedundantly they feared
\nThe culture of the ancients
\nThe genius of their might
\nThe absorbtion of their heritage
\nTheir dreamtime and their light<\/p>\n
They felt the confrontation
\nTheir adverseness their extreme
\nTheir mother was the deep red earth
\nAt night they heard her scream
\nThe diverseness of the aboriginie
\nTheir knowledge it was clear
\nDistinguished by their soul
\nTheir ambivalence brought fear<\/p>\n
Gleaned not from the modernistic
\nBut from their ancestors who
\nPut their faith in Mother Earth
\nAnd at Kakadu
\nCould see and feel the spirit world
\nThat haunted every gaze
\nAnd the vast great upheaval
\nThat Would darken all their days<\/p>\n
Uranium the nightmare
\nShipped to many places
\nThe radio activity
\nThe lines on all their faces
\nGrow deeper from the arrogance
\nThat the government allowed
\nTo stifle opposition
\nOf the first people who bowed<\/p>\n
Their heads before the sun
\nAnd realised the moon would see
\nThe orgins of man beyond the
\nRetention ponds that be
\nLoaded with the evils
\nWith the ravage and the fear
\nWith the rape of their pure women
\nThat would happen every year<\/p>\n
The waste would stifle all of thought
\nThe wet seasons would toss
\nThe filth into the environment
\nAnd they all would feel the loss
\nOf what was the bio diversity
\nOf the spirit and the soul
\nRanger would be an abomination
\nWorked without control<\/p>\n
And so it is the indigenous
\nAgain they live with pain
\nCreated by the government
\nWho mostly were insane
\nIncensed with failing knowledge
\nForgotten were their vows
\nExtracted from the land too long ago
\nAnd from its powers<\/p>\n
Their monotony was evident
\nTheir lack of inspiration
\nA heaviness and staleness
\nWhich spread across the nation
\nThe radiance and polish had left them long ago
\nThey lacked all of the natural sparkle
\nAnd the misery from below<\/p>\n
Their tastelessness so evident
\nObscenities they owned
\nBeyond the pale and scandalous
\nThey heard the wind that moaned
\nImagining its outcome
\nThe faltering stance and glow
\nLooking on the black side
\nLiving still so long ago<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
