Poem

Glenyse Ward 

Young, native, poor and sad  

Servant to Mr. and Mrs. Biglow

Likes silverware, carpets and beautiful cups

Feels worthless, depressed and humiliated

Need her family, care and freedom

Fears for her future, her mom and dad

Gives working capacity, a sad story

Wishes the same as she needs

Lives in a garage

Glenyse Ward

Apologize

In the 1950s, 60 years ago, something terrible happened. Even though its 40 year before I was born, I am really terrified to hear what happened. I am full of disgust over the Australian government, and over all the Australian people, which did this. They ruined so many families, communities, they stole a generation.

Today, it’s important to remember this event, to protect the indigenous people in the future. I would do anything to prevent this to happen again. Are you with me?

Sorry. Such a small word, with such a big significance. Today, Australia say sorry to all the aboriginal people. Why? Because you all deserve it.
