About So-Called Australia Pt 1

Let me teach you a thing or two Passed down from elders’ past, You won’t learn this from library books Nor technology contrast. About so-called Australia About the frontier wars, About all of my ancestors… Shot dead upon the shores. Captain Cook discovered Australia In my ears they drilled, School salute the flag of loot No mention of the skilled… Cunningly shaping weapons and tools; For white man broke the lores Protecting women and children; Black men in frontier wars. How they shocked Aboriginals; The aliens from overseas… Ordered and rewarded To hang them all from trees. When they killed most of the men Hence minority about, They raped the women and the girls To breed the black right out. Complete success they did not have As “Australia” tried a-building, Evilness again transpired Stealing all the children. My Mother, My Nana, My great Nan, All stolen from their parents The Australian Government did it again- For slavery insurance.
