What I needed to hear today.

[@3orM00Rrecharacters]

“Your post-colonial insecure jitters”… so very apt on this day. Today Australia voted “no” to our First Nations having a Voice in our Government. In our Constitution.
Your poem is my prayer for our shame-filled-convict-filled-history, our “Lucky Country”.
