Analysis of Ideologies
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Take two ideologies,
Which one is the best?
One believes in the sanctity of life,
The other somewhat less.
One believes in purity,
At any cost.
The other in the individual choosing their own way.
The question may seem simple,
But look what they display.
By their fruits you shall know them.
They both play their part.
Both are murderer's,
Both lying tarts.
What are ideologies?
It's hidden in the name,
What a shame, our eyes are blind,
We worship wrong again.
