As I walked out in the streets of Chicago
As I walked out in Chicago one day
I spied a young boy/girl wrapped all in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
Oh beat their drum slowly and play their horn lowly
Sing the dead march as you carry them away.
Acknowledgement respectfully to God’s perished children;
God; bless them, bring them home, have mercy on their souls.
Just as I pray you will have mercy on me.
Note: I am not from nor am I at Chicago.

Love is, was, will be forever the most beautiful thing I for ever receive.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
