Analysis of The Reigning Winds
Jason Jones 1977 (Houston)
To listen to hear
To always mean what you say
Helps you to speak facts
The ear is hollow
The winds wailing whispering
May drive one quite mad
Howling can not stop
A flow without a command
Why torture your mind
Ignore pointless tales
Speak justly and with purpose
Man the reigning winds
