The hunting grounds are gone forever now
And
It’s hard to spear a kangaroo in a gold mine
Or
Catch a goanna at Coles
Woolworths bulldozed our birth trees
Under which many of us mob were born
True ghost gums now
Our black faces annoy them
Often
We sit at their front door in the heat
And
The aircon keeps us mob cool
Small consolation
When the whites open the auto doors
We are banned of course
Only for being black
The white man won’t let us camp inside
Our sacred birth places are trampled
Daily
A thousand white feet
Pass
With no respect for our mothers
Or
Our birth trees

Hi, I was wondering if it would be okay for me to include this poem in my English assignment. I have one criteria where it needs to be from a printed source. Do you have any of your works in books? If so, what dates and by who were the book/s published?
I know you must get sick of people asking this, but could i please include this poem in my english assignment?
