On Pauline Hanson And Her One Nation Party Poem by Francis Duggan

I read of Pauline Hanson every day
And the media publish everything she say
And for one who seems anti society
She gets a heap of free publicity.

We have heard the P.M. Mr John Howard preach
On the beauty of this marvellous thing free speech
But he neglected to say that free speech can be abused
When by racists and xenophobics it is used.

That she is a racist Pauline Hanson deny
But on that you can forgive her when she lie
For ninety per cent of all racists are the same
At their own ideas they feel some guilt and shame.

What you do unto others unto yourself you do
Those words as ever happen to be true
And those who against others discriminate
Will feel the heat of their rebounding hate.

Two centuries or maybe more gone by
Since William Blake wrote 'The Little black Boy'
Of the equality of the race of man he wrote
But did we heed the lesson of the poet?

The supporters of the One Nation party one and all
Are prejudiced and their World is very small
And though with what they say I strongly disagree
To hold their meetings they should feel quite free.

Anti One Nation protesters stand aside
For by violent protest they won't be destroyed
Leave Hanson be and she will go away
And her notoriety with her will go into decay.

For her attacks on single mothers and her racist views
Miss Pauline Hanson lately in the news
And she gets a heap of free publicity
For one who is so ignorant as she.
