Poem

Glenyse

I'm a young girl and a poor aborigine
I'm just a dark servant to Mr and Mrs Bigelow
I love wild berries, my mates and beautiful furniture
I feel emotional, frightened and humiliated
I need a real family, a home and an education
I fear white people, agony and the unfamiliar
I give the white people a swept driveway, a clean house and a good dinner
I wish to see freedom, independence and security
