Advance Australia Fair

ThePin.com/PeterDrew

Went Down Under for rest & repair
of our worn out parts aching with despair
& stayed for the newness & fresh air
a space to live fair, hidden from public glare

& soon your advance turned from pussyfoot into a prance
my fishhook hunchback became a silhouetted stance
with none to lance our self made fate
with self imposed ignorance & blind racial hate

Lovers at the end of the Earth
toiling in young Australia‘s’ birth
free to be ! you & ? me

Free to be what ever we want to be
