Deaths Inside from Santau by Jalang

The land is burning
Its people’s bleeding
The bells are ringing
This silence is deafening
Chained and murdered
200 years and counting
An unbroken maze laden with traps
Destroying spirits, shatter families
These cities built on bodies
Of its First Nation people
The boundary roads ,
Separation streets remain

Your jail cells are murder holes
Your jailers, executioners

The killers commended
And protected by your laws
That unfairly target
The lands very own people
Everyone’s complicit
Until we stop
Indigenous deaths in custody
At the hands of colonisers

Stop the silence
Stop the murder

Generational trauma
of this on going genocide
Stop the silence stop
Indigenous death in custody
The killers protected by your laws

Everyone’s complicit
Stop this massacre stop
Chained and murdered
200 years and counting
When will we say
ENOUGH!
