Capsized
Man Of Worth
Sons & Daughters of the Firstborn
Sons and daughters of the first born
From original source we were all shorn
Progeny of the brightest stars
All were unwitting avatars
Look out at the world
Into which we were hurled
Flung from the quiver
Each a message to deliver
Now struggle to stand
In this dark hinterland
No longer can we hide
Behind eyes now open wide
The oldest of souls
Living truths will extol
Dropping wisdom of the ages
Like pearls from the sages
They endeavor to bring unto (wo)man
The true vision of the master’s plan
Your so-called truths need some revision
There never was a spiritual division
On shoulders to bare an original sin
No wrong was done by ancestral kin
This world given to us to explore and tame
We were not sent here to swim in shame
This an untruth you were sold
To shackle the beings created so bold
Fret not about the wrongs and rights
We all experience the dark and the light
Whether good or bad not for you to perceive
The fruit has not fallen so far from the tree
On different paths we are set to learn
Another’s lesson is not your concern
If your eye offends you then pluck it out
That decision for others not what you’re about
Judge not as we have long been told
Or henceforth you will be judged ten-fold
With false honor we cry eye for an eye
But this my brethren is yet another lie
The truth was revealed; even babes know
You only will reap that which you will sow
Whether walking in love or in earthly malice
The same you will drink from the golden chalice
Ego untamed that villain of old
In truth this is your pot of gold
Universal conscience the contingency plan
Your individual beauty your ego-(wo)man
Whether wide is the path or narrow the way
Who among us can absolutely say
Undeniable truth for one and for all
It’s pride alone that will cause you to fall
Refusal to seek your truth that’s within
Finds feet that are pathless again and again
Undeniable truth for one and for all
It’s pride alone that will cause you to fall
Sons and daughters of the first born
Original source is that which we mourn
Progeny of the brightest stars
We all are now fallen avatars
From original source we were all shorn
Progeny of the brightest stars
All were unwitting avatars
Look out at the world
Into which we were hurled
Flung from the quiver
Each a message to deliver
Now struggle to stand
In this dark hinterland
No longer can we hide
Behind eyes now open wide
The oldest of souls
Living truths will extol
Dropping wisdom of the ages
Like pearls from the sages
They endeavor to bring unto (wo)man
The true vision of the master’s plan
Your so-called truths need some revision
There never was a spiritual division
On shoulders to bare an original sin

A Face Full of LifeWhen you're prematurely curvy; somewhat quirky
And society finds you somehow unworthy You're going to get a face full of life. When the boy that you like Leaves with your best friend one night You just got a face full of life. When your van catches fire in the middle of town And the picture in the paper gets spread all round You just got a face full of life. When that line on your e.p.t turns blue in the middle And the writing on the box reads more like a riddle You're about to get a face full of life. When your new mobile home gets run over by a dump truck You have had more than just a bit of bad luck You just got a face full of life. When you leave your man because he's mean and shouting You can be sure, there's no doubting You have had a face full of life. If at the end of the day you're still standing Taking it all on no matter how demanding You'll know that you've had a face full of life. When I look in the mirror at the wrinkles and graying I'm rather proud of it all as I walk away saying I've got a face full of life. G. Jones 9/6/02 |
To the DHS Class of '85 - ChangeSome say change is the key to life. It seems that for years we've been continual servants to change.
Yet, as our graduation draws near, we are suddenly gripped by the frantic hands of fear. What lies behind the wall we've built between us and adulthood? With fear and anticipation we await the fateful day when all our childhood memories will be safely packed away. Change will once again be upon us, encouraging us to move on. It's time to make new friends. To dance to a different song. So each day we bravely carry on, as if this is just another year like the many we left behind. Yet, deep in our hearts we mourn the loss of security and peace of mind. Some say change is the key to life, and may this is true. So, fear not what is ahead for us. Forget not what is behind. For change is the key to a new life and a new life we shall find. G. Jones 1/5/85 |
