An Aboriginal Death Song

Is it a death song?
A Whiteman’s lament
For
A Blackman’s lament
Those dreams
Is it
Another
Black failure
Or
Do the cave walls tell all?
Of
Victory’s long gone
Or
A strange dream
Or
A Whiteman without a heart
Yet to come

Analyzing a poem  In this poem there are 17 lines, it is not a long poem it is a short poem. The poem says many things like what is death and it is explained on how Paolo (the person who wrote the poem) thinks of death. The Speaker is Paolo. The Poem is structured really well; it is short and informative, it is also very interesting on what Paolo thinks of death. The Poem has a very interesting sound; the sound is a slow sound like a funeral sound. I think it sounds like this because the song is about death. This poem has many components it is from the aboriginal origin, it is in a short poem form, it is also very informative and has great content, it is structured very well; short and concise, and it has a very deep meaning that many people will not understand. 

 

Were we are going   

 1.   The reason they are silent and subdued is because they are not talking or they can’t talk.

2.   The white men where represented because there were a lot of them.

3.   Bora rings is a place and it is so central to this poem because that is the aboriginals are from.

4.   The reaction is they are saying they are the ground.

5.   It produces the effect of ownership of land.

6.   The metaphors in the poem are really significant because it makes the poem more interesting and it helps people understand it better.

7.   The structure of this poem is very good; it is structured in such a way that the lines are short but meaningful.

8.   Thunder has a capital letter so people now that it is the keyword.

9.   The poem creates a mood of understanding so you understand what happened to the aboriginals and how their land was taken away from them.  

10.I think its theme, title and conclusion are really good.
