..and I almost forgot that I'll be at the Durham Gathering tomorrow, so here's the next Weekly Walkabout, a tad early...
Poem 76 of 230: LAND RIGHTS
If there is a good thing
From the Second World War
It's that most peoples learnt
To conquer lands no more.
In Africa, Asia,
And the Pacific, too:
Post-war independence -
Steps only bigots rue.
But for some indigenes,
Outnumbered much-too-much,
It has all come too late
For liberty, as such.
So 'tis in Australia,
And America's sites,
Where the best now, I think,
Is to respect land rights.
