Walking free

By Shane Riley

Sentenced to jail

my freedom lost

just another thing taken

from the Koori generation

They don't care or understand

all i want is our land

Long bay jail on my tribal ground

i walk on her everyday

and at night i dream away

seeing my ancestors walking free

i know one day that'll be me.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
