Someone
turns out the last light
A Blackout
And
a dormitory full of black kids sighUnknowingWaiting for parents to return
a shallow promise from government guardians
if you sleep A white education waits
if you wake
and
forgiveThe theft of your black soul
and
the destruction of your family.ResponseThis poem describes the horrors of when the white Australian people kidnapped the aboriginal children to convert them into whites, christens and to make them caviled it tells the depression of both parent and child George Batour.
