Values, Identities and Actions in God's One Mistake
VALUES
Agency
Is Oodgeroo calling into question the choice of giving men agency? Or is she using irony to lament injustice.
"Pain there must be and tears, / Sorrow and death, but not / Intolerance, unkindness, cruelty, / Unless men choose"
-
Regret
-
God is the one who is regretful, for allowing humans the ability to choose because humans then chose to sin.
Equality
Oodgeroo, as is a consistent theme throughout her poetry, portrays all injustice as man made rather than the will of god, to show the inconsistency and hypocrisy of unjust / racist Christians
-
Happiness
Oodgeroo states that all animals and all living creatures can attain true natural happiness, except for humans.
That happiness is intended and could be,
That all wild simple things have life fulfilled
Save man,
That all on earth have natural happiness
Save man.
-
Actions
Calls on white Christians to reconsider their ideals and the injustice they commit and justify through Christianity.
