My Dream

What will I do with my life?
I’m eleven years of age with a plan
I am black and aboriginal, but will that matter
Most “white fellas” are saying “we are sorry”
I’m not sure what for I wasn’t there
And now I am twenty two years of age
What a shame no white man will give me a chance at my dream
Guess I’ll just go walkabout
