Analysis of The good fight
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
To fight the good fight
Stick to the rules.
We must know the truth
Or be taken like fool's.
Who do we listen to
Who can we trust?
Deception is all around,
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
The subtle slight of tongue
Will not be heard
If we are not completely
Living in his word.
By their fruits you shall know them
Their words bring our shame
Satan comes in many forms to set the world in flames.
The branch is here so quietly doing what might seem absurd,
Not found in the media
Polishing up a turd.
