Terra Nullius

He travels a long track
He walks two thousand miles of sand
A path they wandered down years ago
Years ago
They made their claim
Terra Nullius
His story is old
As bold and right as the earth he walks
It don’t move, it just bides its time
It always stays
The story was told
Terra Nullius
Shame the legends crack the paint upon his face
His knees at dance and they fly
And they sing
The poet woman has changed her name in shame
Cool river bed it masks the bones
Of those who died before our time
Made their claim before
Terra Nullius
