40 jaar reconciliation per referendum.
So they say
that time is the healer of all wounds
If you ask Einstein he'll say time is relative

Stolen Generation
by Jenabell Tang 6LEastwood Public School, Eastwood NSW(Based on Julie Lavell’s interview as part of the Bringing Them Home Report).
We were taken away
From our mothers and fathers.
Depressed and angry,
We learned to live without.
Sent away
Not knowing if ourMother was alive
Or dead.
Crying everyday
Wondering…
Were we supposed
To be happy or sad?
We asked questions.
What about our families?
Are they going well?
What happened?
The only answer I can think of,
Is an imaginary picture
Of my mother
In my mind.
...
die vrouw die mij kreeg
die vrouw die mij liet groeien
die vrouw die mij weggaf
aan die vrouw die mij deed krimpen
die vrouw die mij liet dromen
jurken met en zonder knoopjes
vingers over stof
zij koos haar habijt
en haar dood
ik wou dat ik wist
of zij hoop had
toen zij stikte
