Together We Go Hand In Hand

Together we go hand in hand You take us off our land You are damaging our future generation Together we stand as one nation Listen to our pleads You are taking away our needs We love to hunt on land Bare feet on the hot sand We hunt in the sea So wild and free We are simple and original We are the Australian Aboriginal We love our culture and are very traditional This is not fair Do you really care?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

You have beautifully and poetically stated your case. May God's eternal laws of love and justice prevail all over this world.

It is not fair, I agree with you. Us white fella's have lost our connection to the earth! Which is why we don't understand. A powerful write.
