Credentials
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Credentials don't count for much.
By their fruits you
Shall know them.
You can
Trust.
Look who their friends are, what traps they have set.
Lording over others, caught in their net.
They spread the net wide
Ambassadors
All places
The
Most
Cunning
Of all have
Pleasant faces.
Preaching righteousness, it does seem absurd,
Look at the outcome? Don't believe a word.
Here! That inclusion-
They offer peace.
Can't you see?
Given
Grief.
Offered a world of harmony, beyond!
But deliver misery. "Sing along!"
Now if the world is enmity with God,
The talking heads are
Just out to steal
And to rob.
Searching
Truth
Can
Be found
There on pages
Just hanging around.
