Just a Dream

At the heart of my country lies a monolith Shimmering in the radiant hot transparent light Ever changing hues, a chameleon at the edge of night, Uluru the natives call it, a meeting place, where we can sit In my dream, I welcome you here, Whether your skin is black or brown, yellow or white For peaceful parley, at this stela desert site We come together from far and near Whether your home is a hovel, a castle or cave, Derelict or architecturally inspired, an admirable sight We gather as equals with identical plight Our globe’s bounty, we must share and save All children born of mother earth Whether we live in suburbia, zareba or inner city height Different tho we may be we must unite To save the planet of our birth 27 February 2014
