Leaven

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

Leaven
Hypocrisy
Leavened lump.

Look neighbours
The sump.

Responsibility
Others blame.

Getting even
Infliict distain.

Thinking worthy
Inherent gain.

Society conversion
Greed perversion

End in pain.

Moral fibre,

People old
Hard honest
Hearts gold.

Here
Talk trash
Rob neighbour
Lie for cash.

Looking inward
Real truth
We beasts
You proof.
