History Wrote

Perfect Ceremony, Coroboree,
Beloved culture, Aborigine,
In Gondwana, land of the free,
Back then it used to be.

Perfect harmony, with the land,
Beloved walkabout, oh so grand,
Still Gondwana, desert sand,
Nomadic pleasure, nothing planned.

Perfect tribes, Elder led,
Beloved hunters, families fed,
In Gondwana, lack of dread,
Absent white man, happy bed.

Perfect life, all alone,
Beloved silence, free to roam,
Still Gondwana, lovely home,
Any troubles point the bone.

Perfect landing, white man boat,
Beloved sailor, history wrote,
In Gondwana, they did gloat,
As said, history wrote.
