This is an apology to Aboriginal Australia from Abe Ape, a refugee re-settled in Australia. His apology is written and performed in a rhythm not unlike Gil Scott-Heron’s This Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
I have to admit that it makes me squirm in shame to see a newly arrived Australian make better reconciliation attempts with Indigenous Australians than many multiple-generation Australians here. And his poem opens up fascinating thoughts about what it is like to be black and move to a black country that has long been dominated by its white immigrant population.

oh my god. this makes me love the internet.
Wow. Beautiful delivery – very powerful.
Bloody hell. Shame is the word. Thanks Bluemilk; love the breadth of what you bestow on those of us less diligent than you are in keeping up with what matters.
What can I say, Abe you are a great man, you can become part of my tribe if you wish, your morals align with the rules of this ancient land, we understand we live in a global village and that wont change, we only wish people like you were the majority, thanks for the smile you gave me including the people who created this blog and the contributers, Australia need more great people like Abe, Julie, Clare, Anna and bluemilk
