A Poem – Australia. May God

Australia [cartographic material]. 1860. MAP RM 3092. http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-rm3092

Australia. May God

Killing in the name of God is never right

Mistreating others in the name of God is never right

everyone should be free to live their own life, to worship their own god

.

to kill in the name of God is almost unimaginable

I can’t give an absolute categorical assurance

there won’t be an act of God at some point in time

.

thank God that there are so many people who have put so much aside…

thank god, they have succeeded

…so that they are not a burden on the taxpayer

.

God speed on the way to Hobart

an iconic surfing spot, a beautiful piece of God’s own country

to sell a good product for a competitive price and thank God

.

that long paddock system and look, thank God we have got it

but thank God it’s gone to be replaced by this truly magnificent building

and thank God that’s what there is

.

thank God there are a multitude of different voices

thank God that’s stopped

so far, thank god, they have succeeded

.

May God bless you and welcome home

this is no way to serve God

stop the boats and thank God

.

what they are doing is against God

Nothing to do with religion

The only god they worship is death

.

god we want to be exporting plenty of foodstuffs

This country has not flourished because success was inevitable or ordained by God

thank God so many of our food manufacturers are very good at it

.

God knows there’s been an absolute semitrailer load of funding over the years

it’s important that people join the team and thank God

make the most of the good things that God has given us

.

may the God of justice answer all our prayers

thank God the boats are stopping

may God bless the country you are helping to protect

.

It is not about God

The only god they worship is death

and thank God we won the Federal election.

♦

by God, that our country is so much better than this

.

Martin Luther King Jr Day

DRUM MAJOR FOR A DREAM 23
Now that he is safely dead 
Let us praise him 
Build monuments to his glory 
Sing hosannas to his name
Dead men make 
Such convenient heroes. 
They cannot rise
To challenge the images
We wouldfashion from their lives 
And besides,
It is easier to build monuments 
Than to make a better world. 
So, now that he is safely dead
We, with eased consciences 
Will teach our children 
That he was a great man … knowing 
That the cause for which he lived
Is still a cause
And the dream for which he died Is still a dream,
A dead man’s dream.
– CARL WENDELL HIMES JR.
