The Great Aboriginal Flag

The pride of Australia's first people here's something of which we can brag Red and black with a big moon of yellow the great Aboriginal flag It should be the flag of Australia with the stars of the Southern Cross That we tend to overlook Indigenous history and culture for us all seems such a sad loss. Red and yellow for the sun and the land and black for the people how proudly it toss in the breeze On this beautiful day in the Autumn with a high of near thirty degrees The pride of Australia's first people but as a flag it does not take pride of place The National flag of Australia is not of the Aboriginal race. The Aboriginal population is dwindling and their culture we fail to embrace But they have a proud ancient lineage that to the Dreamtime they can trace Yet their's is not the flag of Australia of this marvellous Southern Land To them that must seem quite insulting when respect should be theirs to command. The flag of Australia's first people a flag one does not often see In the gentle wind displaying it's colours on the flagpost in the park by the sea It should be the flag of Australia for Political discussion some fuel But that is never going to happen so much for majority rule.
