The Forgotten then Remembered

The beautiful country
Covered with life
Where the animals were free
In the wildlife.

The people lie within
This beautiful land
And live in peace
With their families.

There were no restrictions
To what they could achieve
There was no violence
But suddenly…

They came from the east
Without notice
And took the land
Right from us.

The blood that was shed
The tears that where wept
There was no mercy
Inside their heads

And just like that we were lost
Into the lonely wilderness
Captured and caged
And kept from their life.

For a long time
They are still forgotten.
Those who made the
Sunburnt country.

But rights greeted them,
As a new friend
And they didn’t turn their backs
But instead greeted them.
