A poem dedicated to the late great Australian Aboriginal leader Eddie Mabo.


Mabo




Uncle Eddie
was not in a hurry
for the reply,
he had lighten a sun,
he flied it into our sad sky
then he took a siesta.

P.S. As poems loose alot of their essence and technique, when translated to other languages - particularly rhyme and rhythm - members with English as their first language are welcome to edit or paraphrase any of my poems. Names of editors will be acknowledged where ever the edited poem published. With many thanks.
