Analysis of My best

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



I try to do my best,I think?
Follow the lead of the masters ink.
Would I like to do it some other way?
Absolutely! But I would die in shame.
To be raised from the pit, a new man formed.
To display "His" compassion is to be reborn.
To fall from such heights would cause death and destruction.
A littered life: seeding corruption.
The one I created, now evacuated, has no place in me.
I am free to sing along with the stars, Venus, Mars, all His host will agree.
And I wonder if they groan, cry and moan, about the state they see?
Where evil schemes, indeed it seems, invade the schools and universities.
With a doctrine of lies they cover the eyes to destroy the family.
It's only one, in a long list of sins.
Now they have control.
But sin will come to its end,
It's prophetic my friends,
The story will unfold.
