Empathy Prevails

Contributed by Redwest802 on Tuesday, 14th November 2017 @ 07:05:52 PM in AEST
Topic: news

The tension was high,
felt near and far
from East Coast to West,
Australians listened hard.

For the country was tasked,
tasked with a job,
A job to make all equal,
not just rights for one mob.

As the seconds approached,
10am the deadline,
many a person hoped
it would pass this time.

For if Man love a Man,
or Woman Love A woman,
its none of our business
not me, not you or the institution

The time, it was reached,
The survey, read out,
and Tension so thick,
you could cut it, no doubt.

Slowly he read
as stats were explained
then the time was upon us,
EQUALITY WAS GAINED!

62
to 38,
the result were in favour
the job had been done.
The yes vote had won!

Now we must wait,
wait on the powers that be
to do the right thing,
by all and sundry.

legalize SSM,
We demand it of you,
in our democracy,
the majoritys voiced its view.

So Malcolm and the crew,
We hand this task to you,
And we hope you do right,
but For now, I bid you, Ado.
