Reconciliation

We should not fight, but see the light.
Be friends again, we know we can.
And before we decease, know the world is at peace.
Why do we exclude, for that is very rude.
The aboriginals are indigenous here,
do not fill their hearts with fear.
We welcome them, home again,
for this land is theirs not ours.
Australia is OUR house.
Together as one we get things done,
but alone we are as helpless as stone.
