rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
With his long tail hanging down,
He quietly sits under every tree
In the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
The dew the dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground
Signals the snowdrops it's time to grow.
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green
No place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colors of the summer solstice.
And carries the green flag all winter long.
Jack, do you never sleep?
Does the green spell
Run deep in your heart?
Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines,
Keep us apart?
Well, I don't think so.
I saw some grass growing
Through the pavements today.
The rowan, the oak, and the holly tree
Are the charges left for him to groom.
Each blade of grass whispers Jack-in-the-Green.
Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night.
And we are the berries on the holly tree.
Oh the mistle-thrush is coming,
Jack, put out the light.
"Jack-in-the-Green"
Jethro Tull

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting no where fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
his words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
..History will teach us nothing
