I'd like to be like Jesus and turn the other cheek
not raise my voice in anger, but be humble - meek.
Even when the soldiers were hammering in the nails
from high on the cross, in agony, amidst the jeers and wails
he said "Father forgive them they know not what they do."
But the situation here is different, I know that - do you?

In the Northern Territory the Government of the day
is ending bilingual education to the Aborigines dismay.
The Country Liberal Party, claiming right upon their side,
is knowingly engaging in cultural genocide.
The first people's first language is a source of pride.
The reassertion of cultural identity now must be denied
if this Government is to defeat the Aboriginal nation
it must complete this act of cultural extermination.
