AUSTRALIA DAY Captain Cook landed 1770 on AUSTRALIA DAY We saw Aboriginies on AUSTRALIA DAY First fleet 1788 on AUSTRALIA DAY 11 ships on AUSTRALIA DAY We stole their land on AUSTRALIA DAY We started to destoy their land on AUSTRALIA DAY We brought deceases on AUSTRALIA DAY We brought ferral species on AUSTRALIA DAY We murdered Aboriginies on AUSTRALIA DAY We enslaved Aboriginies on AUSTRALIA DAY We tried to breed them out on AUSTRALIA DAY We took their children on AUSTRALIA DAY Our dirty little secret on AUSTRALIA DAY The stolen generation on AUSTRALIA DAY 2012 we still control them on AUSTRALIA DAY We became proud on AUSTRALIA DAY OR INVASION DAY Colin Bradley

I liked the set up of the poem, I think that the same can be felt regarding the American past as well, the local populations have dwindled to the point that while I am a smalllll % of local american indian I have not met any that are over 25% Native. It is a sad story. |
