Here is an example of an AABB poem structure.

1. Peace was yours, Australian man, with tribal laws you made,

2. Till white colonials stole your peace with rape and murder raid;

3. They shot and poisoned and enslaved until, a scattered few,

4. Only a remnant now remain, and the hear dies in you.

5. The white man claimed your hunting grounds and you could not remain,

6. They made you work as menials for greedy private gain;

7. Your tribes are broken vagrants now wherever whites abide,

8. And justice of the white man means justice to you denied.

9. They brought you Bibles and disease, the liquor and the gun[K10] :

10. With Christian culture such as these the white command was won.

11. A dying race you linger on, degraded and oppressed,

12. Outcasts in your own native land, you are the dispossessed

13. When churches means a way of life, as Christians proudly claim,

14. And when hypocrisy is scorned and hate is counted shame,

15. Then only all intolerance die and old injustice cease,

16. And white and dark as brothers find equality and peace.

17. But oh, so long the wait has been, so slow the justice due,

18. Courage decays for want of hope, and the heart dies in you.
