    Wow. This poem is quite powerful, dramatic, and yet very real and accurate. I was wondering if maybe I could sort of use it as a framework for a poem about Indigenous Australians, so, may I? By the way, as Namee pointed out, all poems are composed by Paul Buttigieg, as shown at the bottom of the page at the “About” section.

    i love aborig dreamtime
16. Skye August 25th, 2008 @ 1pm

    here is my dreamtime poem
    The Aboriginal Dreamtime
    Unto this king of people,
    Life?s not a modern rhyme,
    Ancient Culture be thy real love,
    Govern?d, potency, Dreamtime.

    Jiva or Guruwari, seed power,
    Ever boding dreaming,
    Thy sacredness enshrined,
    A?fore the white man scheming.

    Tis nobler, do not teach the teacher,
    Thou canst not be Wandjina,
    Assimilation, doubt thou spirits,
    What says a horrible scar?

    To thine Baiame thoust be true,
    Hath not your mystery bonded?
    An aboriginal nation,
    On whitemans untimely stage, secondered.

    here is my dreamtime poem

    dem boys

    Hi I am an artist wanting to use this poem in an upcoming exhibition. The poet will be credited in the catalogue which will go to all major Art museums in Australia. This poem demonstrates the tension still felt between white and black people. It is important that creative indigenous stories are told beyond Dot paintings to demonstrate that Indigenous people are creative in other mediums.
    Best, Wayde.
