Wisdom starts with fear of the Lord
So the Psalmist said 
Wisdom starts with fear of the Lord
Is the Psalmist dead? 
The faith is by experience 
Not found in human sophistry 
I couldn't believe  
So came to see yes
I found my fortune
And it didn't come a day too soon
I found my fortune 
My treasure 
And I pray you find yours -  
Palaces of silver and gold
All must pass away 
Seek the man who never grows old 
Moth to a flame 
Wintertime is cruel 
Agreed the fool with nothing on his feet
Then he cried paradise is sweet 
I found my fortune
It didn't come a day too soon
I found my fortune 
My treasure 
May you find yours too 
I found my fortune
It didn't come a day too soon 
My treasure 
And I pray you find yours too

Shake Those Horns (2025)

LYRICS:

We know the feeling,
When you realize she's gone,
It leaves you reeling,
And it feels so wrong

 That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
 But it's never over, no it's never over,
 It's never over, no it's never over

And God said on the second day,
 Let her come back and say,
 Baby let's talk about it

 But when she comes to see you,
 You will have seen through,
 Then you never quit

Your love is still bright as the sun,
 You can make it up to me,
 Black Sky storm rolling in,
 You're exactly where you wanna be 

That's when you need something to believe in,
 And when you know it's over,
Anyone anytime anywhere,
But it's never over, it's never over, no it's never over.

It's never over (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xzaviar)

Uptight Girl

Invisible Space

Opium Verses from the Western Wind

On a planet resembling Earth, in a Galaxy far, far away 
There were creatures resembling humans of two pigmentations: one red and one blue 
And the red ones instructed the blue ones that there is one word that THEY must never say. 
And they will be ostracized, subject to violence or otherwise harmed if they do. 

You see, one or two centuries prior, the blue ones held red ones enslaved 
And there was a word that the Blue ones would use to refer to the red ones possessed
And though they had long since been freed, in lieu of the justice they craved 
They insisted the blue ones should never again breathe that word, not even in jest

And the blues ones at first were quite gladly compliant, at first they completely concurred
But the red ones adopted this word as a term of endearment, not a hideous curse!  
And now and again some poor Blue would get loose with its tongue and then out popped that word! 
And red ones who heard it were given free license to beat the blue or something worse! 

Even the most rich and powerful Blue ones if ever that word did they say
Were forced to make public apologies, tearfully beg for forgiveness, repentant 
that’s just the trouble with pendulums swinging too wide can the pendulums sway 
What started as simply a politic gesture was simmering now as resentment 

Words are just noises you make to express an idea you may have at the time
Our primitive ancestors, warning of predators, made noises just to alert you 
Always remember the words that are used in that world famous nursery rhyme:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you 

Most Blues were fine with not saying the word, its insulting so why not refrain 
And all of that’s true but it’s rather short sighted and frankly it misses the point  
The point is that blue ones were forced to comply or else suffer the punishment’s pain 
And when rules don’t apply to both red and blue equally, blue noses get out of joint 

So small bands of blues started saying the word in their home and amongst other blues 
And the building resentment would over time lead to a war pitting race against race 
Only slaves are subjected to punishment over expressing unpopular views 
Free people use any words that they want to:  a warning from deep outer space!
