People came to him from every quarter.

Just a few thoughts

·         Back to yesterday – Reconciliation Day.
Here is a poem:

Sorry  --  by Kamilaroi man Neville James Draper

Sorry for the lies you told

For the children you stole

Hearts that don't bleed

Hearts so cold.

 

Came to this land

With guns in hand

An ancient culture

You wish to disband.

 

Taken our rights

By days and by nights

Killing our people

And not hearing our plights.

 

Now it's the future

And someone has spoken

Time to move on

And to heal the broken.
