Respect The First Australians

Respect the first Australians as you would like them to respect you And sadly respect to them is overdue Their ancestorshave lived in Australia for thousands of years Instead of happiness the arrival of Cook and his sailors only brought them suffering and tears That Australia's first people lived happier and healthier happens to be so Before the arrival of the people from the northlands two hundred and thirty one years ago From their ancestral lands others only stood to gain That they are treated as second class citizens in their own Country seems beyond one to explain As Australia's first people in this southern land they should take pride of place Yet no Australian governor general or prime minister as of yet ofindigenous race Their existence in Australia by thousands of years pre date written history Yet sadly today many first Australians are living in dire poverty That many of themlive as second class citizens in their southern homeland Is something way beyond one to understand Australian governments even disrespect them on their choice of date of Australia Day To Australia's first people far more respect than this we should pay.
