Racism - Adam Goodes War Dance Poem by Paul Warren
Racism - Adam Goodes War Dance
There were two tribes going to war
Sydney and Carlton both wanting to score
Each team had their heroes all true blue
To mark the ball high in the sky they flew
The football game was for reconciliation
On Friday night watching across the nation.
Adam Goodes a great first Australian man
Kicked a goal and danced a war dance grand
We all now speak on whether it was right
To dance that way and provoke a fight
To help us find a way to live together proud
I think that he has made his point out loud.

He has been targeted so much the media and the crowd need to just enjoy the game. There is plenty of other Agro in AFL without worrying about this.
