Analysis of Pollpits.
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Politics preached from the pulpit,
That's abhorrent to see.
It strikes a nerve,
Amongst the herd.
But they believe they will set them free!
False prophets,
Daub their lies,
Using the bible,
As their disguise.
But they will fall,
The trap is set
The word they use
Can wring their neck.
