Australia-What tears us apart...

by broken reflection   Aug 27, 2006


An island,
That separates those from each other,
A language, a look or just another,
Another prejudice child, a label, a brand...
Why another seeks refuge in our place?!
The "lucky" country,
It is just as fortunate as any other,
We have murders, dealers, corrupt, famine, disease, we suffer...
We suffer as like many others,
A country where the rich get richer as the poor get poorer,
We suffer slowly,
Tears we shed, but love, we do know;
But due to our hardships,
Love is not strong enough,
For the land that tears itself apart.
