I am marching from Cairns to Brisbane in protest against the department of child safety

People say I should get over Luke's death, move on. Move onto what? My life started when Luke was born, so did the abuse of Lukes by his mom, that actually started while he was still in her stomach. I havn't said much about this at all as I know Luke loved his mother, she only hurt him to get at me, she knew how much I loved Luke. You could not hurt me more than by hurting Luke, and that is exactly what the department of child safety did continuously, to the point of causing his death.
It is going on eight months since Luke died, I feel like I have left my soul mate behind, my best friend, my life long partner, I never knew what love was until my son was born. I never knew sorrow until he was taken from me.
I don't think there is much more I can do on Luke's site now, I just hope people use Luke's army to expose the scale of injustice and malpractise which continues daily within the department of child safety. They never once considered me as a father.
I have been wondering what to do now, not for myself but for Luke. When Luke was alive, he was everything I lived for. Every drawing I did I hoped Luke would see on someone's wall someday and say "My
Daddy did that." I remember the dragon I gave him for his second birthday, he jumped and squealed in delight, the happiest I have ever seen him. I was told by the DoCS case worker it was inapropriate to give him a dragon, and once again she was wrong. Absolutely clueless in every attempt at knowing what was best for a child, and I had to endure her constant negativity.
Fathers Day is in a week, Luke's Birthday is a couple of weeks after that and then Christmas. I am still trying to live my life for Luke, it was the best my life has ever been, and I don't want it to stop. My son did not endure such abuse and neglect, torture in the form of not being allowed to see the father he loved so much. I will not let his death be swept under the carpet and forgotten.
I have decided to march to Brisbane in protest against the murder of my son by the department of child safety. I will put Luke's piano, his drums, and his guitar in the back of my ute and have a concert at the end of each day. I have a drummer as my driver and after this, Luke's Army will have a quality musical outfit.
I am asked if I am making money from this quite often, does it cost anything to join Luke's Army? I intend to fund this trip by selling my art and accepting money for the concerts. I went to the casino yesterday and won a couple of thousand, this will cover fixing the ute and rego. Last night I went into Cairns city where they have a piano in the mall. I went in at one o'clock in the morning so no one would be there. I am self taught and not that good. I didn't even put a pot out but people put money on the piano. Almost fifty dollars in an hour, and fifty people singing along with me. This is all encouraging and confirms to me that I am doing the right thing.
I am doing this march to expose this injustice, and to stop the department of child safety from getting away with killing kids again and again. And I am doing it because it means I am still living my life for Luke, without him I have no reason to live. I will never be the man I was when I was Luke's Dad again. I was somebody because my little boy thought the world of me.
