Australia / South Africa. Why must the world continue as always with ignorant behavior? Rhetorical question, sad question, sad that it needs to be posed. Your Haiku's are well done, truly - and your points well made. I am sure this will be on my mind for quite some time. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

How the first British immigrants treated the Aborigines is a horror story in itself. The fact that they are still discriminated against is true, yet governments, the British included, seem to be denial. Of course the Australian are in total denial. ?

Arturo, thank you! I hasten to add that, albeit I am not fully conversant with the Native Americans endeavors to get the USA's government to uphold/abide by treaties relating to N.A. land, I am aware that the fight goes on... Take care... Mi
