Ancestors And Religion Poem by Paul Warren

The history of my family is interesting to me
When looking at reasons of why some things I see
It seems the German side of the family were Protestant
And so couldn't get on in Catholic Germany rant
So they immigrated to South Australia

Then I look at the Irish side
Who were Catholic and so were on the slide
With the Protestant English in the power
And were on the outer
So they immigrated to South Australia

It would seem instead of praising god
And making the best of your lot
Your religion becomes a tool
To get what you want and make others a fool.
