Leunig’s Prayer
This was what I was trying to say yesterday but much better put sometimes I wish I had a talent for writing
God Help us. With great skill and energy
we have ignored the sate of the human
heart. With politics and economics we have
denied the hearts needs. With eloquence,
wit and reason we have belittled the hearts
wisdom. With sophistication and style, with
science and technology, we have drowned
out the voice of the soul. The primitive voice,
the innocent voice. The truth. We cannot hear
our heart’s truth and thus we have betrayed
and belittled ourselves and pledged
madness to our children.
With skill and pride we have made for
ourselves and unhappy society
God be with us.
Amen
