Analysis of Cart before the horse
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
I shall not die!
So they say..
Beware, presumption on display..
Who hear, should be so bold?
All is naked
His eyes behold.
Yes, there will be chosen ones...
A very small remnant...
From Him will come...
But who is who??
And what is what??
I am hear
I'll stir the pot...
Pride is a loser..
He suffers no sin..
And He shall decide who is in.
To be presumptuous
Is natural of coarse..
Just don't put the cart before the horse. xxx
