Aboriginal People

These are the Aborigines 
We have ruined there lives
It is time to say sorry and meaningful goodbyes 
We had different believes and stories to tell
But not all of them were happy
They weren’t settling down very well
And I am sorry to say, the war was hell!
They got there swords and spears 
And we’re ready to fight
But all hope was gone
It was like turning a human into a light!
Cannons were full to the brim 
And men were ready
Some children were stolen and bulbs and branches got in the way
But now we have said our say
And Australia will always be their place to stay
