PACIFIC ISLANDS PRAYER
 
Our father
Who art in Canberra, Wellington and Washington DC
Hallowed be thy policies
Thy aid come
Thy will be done in the Pacific Islands
As it is in Canberra, Wellington and Washington DC
 
Give us this day
Our daily aid
Forgive us our mismanagement
As we forgive our corrupt politicians
 
Lead us not
Into poverty
But deliver us from your domination
 
Amen
