Abandoning Ancient Aboriginal Awareness

We are all just visitors here

Abandoning Ancient Aboriginal Awareness belongs to the following groups:

1 In The Beginning - Ancient Practices, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Current Issues and Something To Say

Our People had Land
With which They Cared
Obeyed and Honoured
And Selflessly Shared

Used Ancient Ways
Heard Natures Voice
Listened to Her
Made the Right Choice

For Thousands of Years
We lived Hand in Hand
Survived on her Fruits
Respected Her Land

With the Passing of Time
And Invasion of Man
Who don’t care for her Needs
Just Take what they Can

She Lays Barren, Exposed
From all of their Greed
Raped and abandoned
Left Lying to Bleed

Cut Wide Open
An Unhealable Tear
A Scream in the Wilderness
No-one wants to Hear

Her body Lays Pitted
with Open Sore
Stung by the Beast
of the Iron Ore

Minerals Exhausted
To Feed Fatted Calves
Who Want More and More
Nothing done by Halves

Rivers Clogged
Blocked and Drained
Landscapes Desecrated
Exposed and Stained

Round up Her Caretakers
Shove them aside
Their Knowledge and Wisdom
Blatantly Denied

    Great piece once again Mana, just who was the more intelligent race I wonder?? Seems pretty obvious to me. 50,000 years this land was ripe and beautiful, in 200 years look what we did!
