On An Anthem And A Prayer

There is a land Australia
The people there are White
The people that were there before
Were Black and shot on sight
Now genocide's been modified
(we've learned some subtlety)
They must wear shoes
To drink the booze
That keeps them on their knees
I guess it beats remembering
Australia's history. [1]

We claim we're all Australians
(Not foreign parasites)
In Law and Opportunity
Boast all have equal rights
We call this a democracy
A White majority
That celebrates invasion by
A White minority
The truth is our Australia Day's
Racist hypocrisy. [2]

Our President, who art in America,
Howard bleats thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
In Iraq as it was in Vietnam.

Give us this day our Coke and McDonald's,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we bomb those who trespass not against us.
Lead us not into contemplation
Of our invasion so evil.

For thine is the technology, the power
And the media.
Forever and ever.
Amen.

Penelope Anne, letter to The Age
