“Drifting Ice”

cji

6/30/12

Unstable and in full flow

rivers and streams cold

slivers of ice cutting all

leaving its mark eternal

all this is ever natural

attendant winds to call

missed by most if told

huddled in firelight glow!

“In the Country”

cji

6/29/12

Nature welcomes all to view

yet nothing anyone to own

for in the country you give

sweat, labor, love or hate

the prices always in flux

some able to meet the cost

others unable wither – die

each has to make a choice

whether to sin or rejoice

to have happiness or cry

some to win others all lost

most not knowing the crux

waiting in line for their fate

for in the country you live

too many want a throne

being ruled by the few!

“Lemmings to the Endings”

Cji

6/28/12

Political criminals found

bootleggers and thief’s

beggars and freeloaders

lifer welfare dependents

illegal aliens found about

lemmings to the endings

following fast and furious

after whoever leads off

wrongly believing lies

wanting them to be true

media speeding the day

when all lemmings known

have ending in the storm!

“Fading Drums”

cji

6/27/12

Rapid drum rolls vibrating

hills and valleys trembling

marching feet pounding

guns roaring close and far

slowly everyone slows

no more banners flown

no more ‘hurhars’ heard

just eating dust walking

no longer the drums loud

softly beats the drummer

sadness grips the land

no sunsets or rises

just the lonely sound

of fading drums fading!

“Bloodied Hands”

“Bloodied Hands”

cji

6/27/12

More than ours to find

taking control if we don’t

no hesitation in greed

lusts fulfilled remorseless

sickened faces of disease

for this is the worldly want

thus when good stand aside

refusing to take control

others more vicious will

the Spirit of God to kill

nakedly they’ll stroll

without laws to abide

filling their needed want

hovering as lice and fleas

lurking in light or darkness

bloodied hands to feed

running where their wont

terror and evil to define!

“Wounds of Battle”

cji

6/25/12

Going off to the wars

some good and bad

good men/women

on both side fighting

wounded and killed

choices to be made

where to live and die

on who’s side found

valiant men/women

wounds of battle

scars for one’s life

gained for good/evil

proudly flags to wave

carried to the grave!

“Strangers in Time”

cji

6/26/12

Dwelling within space zones

not really here nor there to be

somewhere but not sure where

coming and going within or out

passing stars or galaxies past

stabilized for temporary moments

while not knowing how or why

thus are windows opened shut

strangers in time always known

rejecting much of the worldly

looking only for the eternal

dwelling within space zones!

“Invasion!” June 25, 1950

“Invasion!”

cji

6/25/12

A world at peace illusionary

for coming in the hordes old

invasion of a nation to begin

June 25, 1950 in the Far East

seeking to kill, rape and maim

removing the vestiges of freedom

deciding irrationally to conquer

disregarding any human rights

thus once started to lingering

today still as once then was

deceit, beguiling and treason

yet as in all such invasions

none coming alone to raid

backed by the Chinese

today still as once then was

the UN impotently to run

allies left to the will of law

while China on the UN

told everything to plan

invasions of the criminal

warfare of deceit and evil

a day not recorded to note

yet equal in infamy as all

a world at peace illusionary!

“Our Wetware”

cji

6/24/12

Early each morning to kneel

especially on the Sabbath

opening up our hearts full

yet are our minds so open

do we listen to what we say

and then to what we hear?

For in prayer the veil sheer

when in honesty we pray

we’ve a need to be open

our wetware not to pull

especially on the Sabbath

early each morning to feel!

“Foot by Foot”

cji

6/23/12

Some measure by time

others by the seasons

some seeking in space

but in the horror of war

one measure different;

Distance is only infinite

like the trails ice’s hoar

indifferent to the pace

using dangerous reasons

foot by foot left as sign!

"To Understand"

Even more interesting is a hint dropped by Origen:

Clement, the disciple of the Apostles, recalls those whom the Greeks designate as antichthonians [dwellers on the other side of the earth], and other parts of the earth's sphere [or circuit] which cannot be reached by anyone from our regions, and from which none of the inhabitants dwelling there is able to get to us; he calls these areas "worlds" when he says: "The Ocean is not to be crossed by men, but those worlds which lie on the other side of it are governed by the same ordinances [lit. dispositions] of a guiding and directing God as these."⁴⁹

Here is a clear statement that the earliest Christians taught that there were people living on the other side of the world who enjoyed the guidance of God in complete isolation from the rest of the world. Origen knows of mysterious knowledge that was had among the leaders of the Primitive Church but was neither divulged by them to the general public nor passed on to the general membership, and this includes the assurance that there were people living on the other side of the world who enjoyed the same divine guidance as themselves in a state of complete isolation.

“To Understand”

cji

6/22/12

So much truth is available

withheld from the public

denied access to writing

forbidden to be so read

dangerous paths to tread

political reality of infighting

as in the old Greek republic

information lost invaluable;

Do we ever want to know

with knowledge to learn

to learn is to thus discern

and able in truth to grow;

All of it is already there

everything one to need

questions unanswered

mysteries all to solve

everyone all to resolve

full access to a hansard

to understand and heed

too many not to share!
