THE MOST MAJOR APPREHENSION OF MY LIFE

Of ‘yes’ I’m scared,

Why is it so,

‘Yes’ will divide,

So I’ll vote ‘no’.

Right now,

Australians are as one,

But a ‘yes’ vote,

Will be to see that undone.

T’will be that

‘First Nations’ are best,

In the vanguard,

Will be the rest.

Some will be exalted,

Others dismissed, turned down

In the wash-up that follows,

Their voice it will drown.

Tread carefully,

I entreat and implore,

Lest we divide.

And be united no more,

For common good,

I entreat and say,

Vote ‘No’ NOT ‘yes’,

On polling day.
