The Prayer Of The Political Bigot - (Excellent Stuff!)

Citizen X in Devon | 18.03.2002 23:52

The Prayer Of The Political Bigot - one of the best things written in a long time. Risks being overlooked, so it's posted with the aim of widespread distribution. Nice One! Steve - excellent piece of work.

The Prayer Of The Political Bigot

"In the beginning god created states and borders. And the borders were without form.

And God said let there be visas. And there were visas. And God saw that the visas, were good and he divided visa nationals from non visa nationals. And this was the first day.

And God said let there be waters between the borders and let there be immigration officers in the midst of the borders and let the waters and the officers divide peoples from peoples. And he told the immigration officers to go forth and multiply. And this was the second day.

And God said let there be passports and let these passports provide a way over the waters for some peoples and not other peoples. And the peoples denied a way he called economic migrants and bogus and illegals. Those granted a way he called Europeans, Americans, Canadians and Australians. And this was the third day.

And God said let the states bring forth housing officers and welfare officers and social workers - so that economic migrants and the bogus and illegals be denied housing, social welfare and work. And this was on the fourth day.

And God said let there be brought forth prisons, induction centres, accommodation centres and detention centres. And let the prisons and the centres be spread over the face of the earth. And the earth he called a Fortress. And this was the fifth day.

And God said let us make immigration officers in our own image. And so he gave the officers power over every living thing that moveth upon the earth and tried to moveth between the borders. And this was the sixth day.

And on the seventh day God ended his work and rested. But the immigration officers continued their work of imprisoning, excluding and deporting. And the housing officers and welfare officers and social workers continued their work of denying housing, social welfare and work.

And God said this was good".
