AUSTRALIA DAY
Captain Cook landed 1770 on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We saw Aboriginies on
AUSTRALIA DAY
First fleet 1788 on
AUSTRALIA DAY
11 ships on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We stole their land on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We started to destoy their land on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We brought deceases on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We brought ferral species on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We murdered Aboriginies on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We enslaved Aboriginies on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We tried to breed them out on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We took their children on
AUSTRALIA DAY
Our dirty little secret on
AUSTRALIA DAY
The stolen generation on
AUSTRALIA DAY
2012 we still control them on
AUSTRALIA DAY
We became proud on
AUSTRALIA DAY
OR
INVASION DAY

| I liked the set up of the poem, I think that the same can be felt regarding the American past as well, the local populations have dwindled to the point that while I am a smalllll % of local american indian I have not met any that are over 25% Native. It is a sad story. |
