Sharon Roebourne Poem
Our families are well respected
We are easily accepted
We have a drink or two
Even make our own home brew
We love to eat kangaroo
We are simple and original
We are the Australian Aboriginal
Our land is dry and never bland
We love this vast land
We love to hunt
On the hot sand
We hunt in the sea
It makes us feel wild and free
Under the hot sun
Where we love to have fun
We come near and far
All bare feet without a car
We love to always chase
The good old goanna
Always trying to keep up a pace
We are proud
We sing out loud
We love to do our aboriginal art
It comes straight from our heart
We love to tell our dreamtime story
All the colors and it’s glory
We love to sing and dance under the stars
Strumming on our deadly guitars
Feeling content in the moment
With our hearts desire
We sit around the campfire
Doing the dance of the Jabiru
Whilst listening to the didgeridoo
We want to better our future generation
We stand as one nation
We like to keep tradition
We always love our fishin
Our songs
Our people
The animals
Our culture
Our lanuguage
Step aside
Let us teach with respect
And our pride
Together we go hand in hand
We are a part of the great Australian Land

Sharon Roebourne Poem
Please stop the violence
I sit in silence
I made a stand
I said ‘No more’
But the scars are still very raw
As I say to my kids
Tears will dry
My love for you
Will never die
As I hold
My head held high
It’s a long road
But I let go of a very big load
I fought and I fought
Finally I got some support
From people far to people near
They were all there what I had to hear
I am strong
I didn’t do anything wrong
I am here
Well and alive
I walk this world
For I know how to survive

Sharon Roebourne Poem
Together we go hand in hand
You take us off our land
You are damaging our future generation
Together we stand as one nation
Listen to our pleads
You are taking away our needs
We love to hunt on land
Bare feet on the hot sand
We hunt in the sea
So wild and free
We are simple and original
We are the Australian Aboriginal
We love our culture and are very traditional
This is not fair
Do you really care?

Sharon Roebourne Poem
PARIS is in silence
All scared with all the violence
Hearts are breaking
From the violent awaking
The world is in mourning
For there was no warning!!
People were dancing and having fun
Within seconds there was a gun
Lord hear our prayers
As the world cares
AMEN x

Sharon Roebourne Poem
I am an aboriginal
Simple and original
I like to keep tradition
I always love my fishin
I am a northwester
Where I like to fester
Under the hot sun
Where I can have fun
I like to get a tan
Whenever I can
I love the great outdoors
Someday I'll see the waterfalls
I'd like to see a croc if not
I'll stand on the top of Ayers Rock
I love the Pilbara land
Always dry and never bland
I have a little girl
She puts me in a whirl
Her name is Shae
She was born in May
I have a little boy
He gives me so much joy
So now you know about me
So young and so free
And that's the way I like to be!

Sharon Roebourne Poem
People come
People go
People die
But it's never GOODBYE
You walk beside me
I feel so young and so free
You put your hand on my shoulder
Watch over me as I get older
I always miss you
Forever and forever
