Noel Pearson

 Noel Pearson the great Indigenous Australian leader knows what he is talking about
That the first Australian people are treated as second class citizens in their own Land he leaves nobody in doubt
They do not have a voice to Parliament Australia's indigenous race
That in the twenty first century young  Indigenous Australian's are dying in police custody is surely a National disgrace
Dying mostly at their own hands the bitter truth all Australians must face
That there is uncalled for discrimination in Australia against the people who should take pride of place
As the first people of Australia this vast and wonderful Land
That a great Indigenous leader like Noel Pearson should feel so disappointed should not be hard to understand
That they do not have a voice to Parliament in the twenty first century
And that many young indigenous people are living in dire poverty
They have suffered under white Australian Governments their children stolen from them going back a few decades of years
In massacres and discrimination colonization has brought to them suffering and tears
But thanks to leaders like Noel Pearson of Australia's first people better days may be ahead
And to be recognized in the Country's Constitution hope for them it is not dead.
