Lets Hope This Is the Last

Many children were stolen It wasn’t that long ago Our rich culture took a beaten Our children's cries still echo This is what separates our nation They came on a big ship And fired their gun Our languages were split We were forced to run This is what separates our nation There is an injustice Mrs Joyce clake, miss dhu They were shot by police Who is responsible, who? This is what separates our our nation Children arrested by the fuzz Many without a white face they took my cuzz She was judged her by her race This is what separates our nation This is our country You are the oppression You showed us no mercy And we don’t need a card of concession This is what separates our nation Proof of culture is our obligation Haven't we proved enough? We are of our lands creation Why isn’t that enough? This is what separates our nation Our families are dead this is true It’s all your fault Your debt is due You treat us like criminals, by your own default This is what separates our nation You say, we have moved on The pain is still felt Mums lost their sons wonder, how do you think they have dealt? This is what separates our nation Our towns are not level We are isolated from society We are treated unequal Maybe this is why we lack sobriety This is what separates our nation Treated like animals Through abuse and brutality We attended many funerals Where is you’re humanity This is what separates our nation Our children are without their culture They have become lost Social stereotypes in their future But at whose cost This is what separates our nation Being born of aboriginality Shouldn’t be a ticket of death We should be a community But you sit there as some take their last breath This is what separates our nation We celebrate through NAIDOC A day to remember The memories and dialogue left only as embers This is what separates our nation Mistreated by the law Is in our past Abuse and brutality should be no more Let's hope this is the last? Let's end the separation of our nation
