May 4th - National Prayer and Reconciliation day.

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood in the streets and it's following me

J. Morrison, 1970

As I make my way around the district talking to people most are concerned as I am about Immigration, Unemployment, Taxes, and Political Corruption.. But about one in, oh maybe, 100 pull me by the elbow or cuff and start talking about Pelosi and Obama and the coming blood revolution..

I remind myself, and them, that faith and obedience to God is the solution.

I quietly extricate myself, go back to greeting voters, kissing babies, and shaking hands as soon as possible.


Much has been said of Pelosi and Obama and Socialism and what is going on in D.C.

Much has been said of blood in the streets.


But I recall a nation divided.


I recall talk of revolution.

I recall blood in the streets.

And I didn't care for it.
