The Aborigines

Oh! He was killed by humans, 
He was caught for the theft 
Of rice to fill his 'small' debt.  
He was beaten by 'big' no doubt 

He was born in a family in woods 
He led a life of fatigue and Stood 
Away from 'peers', afraid of torture.
He lived in a cave of darkness, so immature.

To face the world, one needs education
If, denied could live in suffocation 
Oh! man your 'ignorance' been killed by infection 
Caused by the Pride and cruelty 

No 'power' bothered, no stardoms
Many moaned from behind the screen 
Far away, the dirt is  pathetic but too sarcastic 
The Aborigines, we were same once.

He was killed by you 
But the weapon provided by me!
