Current affairs

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



Current affairs just have a look open your eyes their in the book.

Did you notice they changed the memorial day?

Cut off the blessing as the multitude pray..

It was a cunning move..

A slight of hand..

For on that day he could command.

It wasn't God's Holy day.

He spat in his face when he went on to say..

The
Devil
O
Vain.

Instead if letting Jesus rise...

Up pops the queer!

Without a disguise.

Christendom fell for it.

Just another day.

Wolves in sheeps clothing have led them astray.

Why are you bleating!

God's not a slob.

Well  for some perverse reason he's given me this job.

I don't want it any more than you,

But I know it's something I must do.

With no soundness in it..

Just putrifying sores.

It needs binding up.

The decision is yours.

I am a slow learner-

I should know better...

But it takes me years to understand one letter...

But this I believe must be true,

The cunning system is completely screwed.

And unless we get the truth back,

The house will fall,

And that's a fact.

Even now it may be to late

The axe is tapping on the gate

The high Sabbath is coming soon...

You shouldn't miss it:

It's on the full moon.

I am not here to lead anyone anyway.

Just a mere looney.   

Having his say.
