Forgotten Tribes

Australia the lucky country but not for all, It's time to tell a tale that's not so tall. The country's past is dark and really no mystery, Most people know the country has a black history. Captain Cook arrived, things would never be the same, Two decades later the natives felt nothing but pain. In 1788 eleven ships arrived to occupy their land, But the Aboriginal people said no and took a stand. Violent acts of resistance followed, many fought but lost, This invasion was so similar to the Tasmanian holocaust. Harassment, persecution, white Australia's illegal activities, More than 200 years of discrimination against Oz's aborigines. Racking and stacking them in prison, they're living in hell, No justice for Eddie Murray who was found dead in a cell. Police showed no remorse or regret when Ian Ward was literally cooked to death. And why do people celebrate invasion day? January 26th is just a disrespectful display. They're still suffering, still neglected, still living among violence, The world needs to take notice of the great Australian silence.
