Merry Christmas to all! Ron wrote this festive poem as a way of expressing just how he feels about politics at this special time of the year.
Here we go again.
A strategy for this,
a strategy for that.
Most of our ‘thought leaders’,
spend their time,
talking through their hat.
What we really need,
is to focus on
courage, conviction and character.
This gave our Western Civilization
that special edge,
lifting millions to a new level.
The Enlightenment thinking,
Isaac Newton and friends,
blazed the trails.
Before Entitlements and Victimhood
ran us
off the rails.
In Canberra, this week,
I was told Canberra
is our National Capital.
“Wrong!” I said.
It’s merely
our Political Capital.
I define Canberra as
200 square kilometers;
surrounded by reality!
Canberra is where they
work hard to
destroy our Triple A Credit Rating.
It’s ‘out there’.
You are the people
working to save it?
You the creators,
will rescue us,
from political seduction.
So, let’s drink a festive toast.
To the explorers, our industry
and our great producers.
