The Flocks Written June 23, 2025
All ye wandering flocks of the earth
Meet me at the foot of the hill
Stand with me in this moment in time
And tell me slowly what is on your mind
Shake the dust off your feet
and mingle with the people you meet
open the avenue of fear for something
familiar is walking there
Listen to the sounds around you
and leave the burden behind you
for the light is shining on you.
We stand in the midst of life
Searching for the light, it was
Nowhere to be found for someone
Had taken it out of the town
It was in the monastery for the keeper to keep
He did not have anywhere to go
and he had to keep it on the show
tigers, lions and bears stand guards over it
Daggers and spears are pointed towards it
What curse has mankind brought upon the earth
the moon and the stars orbit the galaxy
observing mankind destiny.
I woke up with nothing
on my mind listening to the vibration of the earth
and searching for the entrance that
leads to the other side of the divide
rocks and debris have closed the end of the mound
and its entrance could not be found
It was buried below and one could not find which way to go;
many people could not breathe for they had planted the wrong seed
It was parachuting too quickly in the air
and the village over there was surround with toxics waste
that leaked out of the atmosphere, but mercy came
on time to get the destitute out of the mine.
Oh he flocks of mine come to the table and dine with me
then tell me what you see
Let me hear your plans and my heart will understand.
I can waive the plans and raise my right hand
for redemption is drawing neigh and you have nothing to fear
in the lingering sky
but if you get stuck in the middle of the sea
and the sharks are coming after thee,
look at the big wave and it will take the predators away.
Sing the same song that you used to sing,
and encourage the people to sing along
The melody is pure for love is knocking at your door
fill the place with laughter and agree with one another
before you leave the hill,
Give everyone a purse before you disburse
and make a pledge to keep the tariff from riding to heaven
place it in everyone’s hand so that symphony can move
with the wind and make the whole world sing
Destiny will complete the fight
And the whole world will move in the light
Oh, he flocks the earth come and settle the “dirt”
Let’s go down to the shores and live forevermore.
