The Lord’s Prayer With Gusto
There are people
we have elected to government
who, with gusto, recite The Lord’s Prayer.
How many understand the
words they are chanting?
How many live by the words
they are chanting?
How many wear the badge
of the practising Christian
whilst going against the
Ten Commandments?
How many politicians
are atheists or from other religions
and feel ill at ease,
as Australians, whilst being entombed in a room
where these words are being chanted?
Wouldn’t it be better,
in this secular society,
if instead of The Lord’s Prayer,
at the beginning of Parliament,
politicians would swear with sincerity an oath
of honesty and loyalty to their country
and that chant could be
upheld by the law?
