ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER JOVIAN * DOLLAR
Strolled down to the café to meet the guys,
The braves as we call ourselves in vain.
Get a breath of fresh ammonia from the skies
Maybe a whiff of methane.
Not many red men left now to stand .
White earth dudes tried to kill off all
Of us native Joviandians and
Take whole of Jupiter for themselves in thrall.
Space the final frontier, by Jove
Not moving west now but out.
Treaties made and broken. Where can we rove?
They killed off all the jovalloes, used to roam about.
Even our Jovian satellites are exploited for metals or oil,
And hey, look what happened to the Great Red Spot:
Filled up with earth guys. They have technology for our soil -
Of course, now renamed the Great White Spot.
Still they all must live in a strong steel cavity
Like a captured earth species avian.
Small runts who can't stand up in our big gravity
Makes us jovial Jovians.

*Jovian = adjective relating to planet Jupiter
Somersaults of joy
Curly cues of Kindness
Awesome essence of self-control
Immesities of love
Ephiphanies of patience
Fruits of the spirits encompasses all these gifts
The third eye saw that the greatest of these gifts is love
And the spirit rode within a white knight
Adorned by the fruits of the spirit
As it carried off the princess
into the White Light
And the third eye came face to face
in front of the Pure Brightness
Wandering into a world of treasures
Thankful for heartfelt pleasures
The words were spoken out of her
to make the whole earth tremble
But she had become part of another
and could only feel the silence of her heart
All of life escaped her
As she had escaped it
On and On
Eternity moves further on
Destiny beckons as it calls
As she sang a song of glory
more beautiful than the earth could ever be
Her soul was accepted into the Book of Life
She flung herself to God
His brightness she did recall
the third eye looking on
The psychic third eye
