Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Rule of Honesty, Justice, Humility and Love

Firstly let's get my country right and ready
bring the people to recognise God's holy book
this is where true wisdom is found
bringing righteousness proving no fluke

We live in a day of lies and half truths
where right is wrong and wrong is right
the day of real honesty is so needed
may our conscience act full of light

In our day there's lack of real justice
my country would be rooted for the just
having laws that held truth up on high
so people of faith believe in a system to trust

So many today full of arrogance and pride
humility is so lacking within our land
need people of meekness and poverty of spirit
showing evidence so humble to truly stand

The great purpose required in my land
is real sacrificial love being selfless
God at the centre, true to His word
our destiny surely, this he'd truly bless

(If I could start my own country, this would be my founding principles.)
