Australia's First People In Australia

The ways of their culture we do not understand The very first people of this great Southern Land For the brown outback they know how to care And of the needs of Nature they seem far more aware Than the descendants of the northern races could ever hope to be The true beauty in the Country they love they do see They love their Country for the love of it not for financial gain Which to the vast majority of people of other races may seem hard to explain Australia's wealthiest tycoons make their billions off of their Land today But they remain as poor people and live in a simple way Yet their love for their Country remains ever strong And their wise elders will tell you we do not own the Country to the Country we belong Australia's first people in Australia should always take pride of place But in the great Southern Land sad to say this is not the case What should be and what is are quite different one must say And the Country's first people in Australia is among it's poorest of today.
