SON OF MINE - 1964 Oodgeroo Noonduccal (Kath Walker) Australian Aboriginal Poet.

"I could tell you of heartbreak, hatred blind,

I could tell of crimes that shame mankind,

Of brutal wrong and deeds malign,

Of rape and murder, son of mine;

 

But I’ll tell instead of brave and fine,

When lives of black and white entwine,

And men in brotherhood combine,

This would I tell you, son of mine.
