Born into privilege

Bequeathed no allegiance

To notions of plutocracy

Whose sense of injustice

Intolerance to prejudice

Rose universal opportunity

Broke the back of old power

So cold and pernicious

Discrimination the enemy

With foresight and vision

Made evident what we could be

That society’s our responsibility

With strident conviction

Old barriers were torn down

Unapologetic equality

In the hands of Lingiari

Passed back to the Gurindji

Their lands and restored dignity

Equity

Identity

Legacy

Humanity

From malice to tolerance

Stagnation to progress

Ignorance to potentiality

Conceived new horizons

This old man indelible

Antiquity to modernity

You’ll live on in our memory…..
