Moveme

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



It's like watching a movie
Or some bizarre play..

Packed with drama!

I am blown away...

There's plenty of comedy
For adults with eyes,

The hidden plot is complex,

All characters in disguise.

Good is evil,

Evil sells the prize.

"You need to be alert!
 You need to be aware."

Destroyed by a lack of knowledge??

We shouldn't have a care!

Prophets and messiahs-
Giving the world their proof..

Where is the glory?

I don't know their truth.

Can you see the reality?

The tangled webb we're in..

Spun in deceptive lies

Manifested in our sin..

Believe we are right,

When everything is wrong.

"You have the power!
Delight yourself, my son."

Vanity of vanities!!

Are we really screwed?

This I pray
I heard Him say-

"Forgive them Father;

They know not what they do."
