Bill: Introduce Unbiased National Anthem
Details
Submitted by[?]: Lodamun Humanist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2221
Description[?]:
| "The current national anthem is highly biased, and involves a clearly partisan political message. We suggest that it is altered to more inspiring, less biased lyrics, in addition to less depressing ones and a tune that will be remembered and known across the world instead of constantly forgotten." http://david.national-anthems.net/dl.php?file=mt.mid |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees, For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas. The trouble with the maples, (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light. But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade. There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, As the maples scream "Oppression!" And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light." Now there's no more oak oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw.
Current:
| O, Lodamun Rejoice, brothers and sisters Children of our glorious land May we restrain our resistors Their resistance we disband No foe I fear, no friend I force We propagate wholeheartedly No single feeling of Remorse affects our fraternity All the weapons of this earth Could not temper our pride Lodamun, for what it's worth Your sacred grounds we abide O, Republic that is ours Our lives are in your hands We shall maintain with all our powers Your glory, with proud stance. |
Proposed:
| To the people of this land, our home, Five nations united, Guard ourselves, like always we have guarded, Remember this land, which you have bathed with wisdom. May intellect be with those we choose to govern, Let freedom be our goal, and justice be our aim, So we may live equal, honest, free, a united people in peace. |
