Indigenous, So Be It! Poem by Lyn Paul

Indigenous, So Be It!

Rating: 5.0


Living Today
Still Racism?
We are one
This is ignorance in those speaking these words

We have almost legalised Gay Rights with marriage,
Almost! ! !
And Why should we not!
The majority support this


We have finally realised that domestic abuse is a total disgrace.
Watching helplessly as a child.....
The Policeman apologising
Yet now
It is a criminal offence

WE have
Accepted
Life is changing
Simply whilst blinking

Also we know
Our Lucky Country
Is No Longer

Though even still
What a TOTAL disgrace
That
In a Multi Cultural Society
Racism Exists

There are only a few
But they plant a huge bullet

We all eat the same food
Spend the same money
Beat with the same music

We all blend and laugh so beautifully


If the Majority of this world could paint a picture
It would be a picture of peace
For we can all
Laugh together

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Racism in sport in Australian is sadly an issue. We have the most incredible Indigenous football players yet there is always one supporter throwing verbal abuse. How Sad! ....

A very meaningful message here, Lyn. Racism, tribalism, discrimination for whatever reason is abhorrent! Political ideology....... Divide and rule......Rule by fear. We have only one world and we should share it equally.

Despite all big talk and sermons on Equality, Fraternity and Liberty, it is so sad that racism and caste and color discrimination prevail! I too share your sentiments of sadness over this! Lyn... I greatly enjoyed your concluding stanza; If the Majority of this world could paint a picture It would be a picture of peace For we can all Laugh together

We are people with feelings and emotions, we are all on the one path to be happy, to make another person feel inferior is despicable and a crime against justice and equality! Great message In this powerful write!
