Unrest spreads

And we pray for the police
And the looters
And the media
And the politicians
And the young
And the old
And the scared
And the angry
And the apathetic
And the inciters
And the business owners
And the business burners:
And the people of our land.

Blake would be weeping.  Still

And did those feet in ancient time.
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land

  1. Prayers for you all. I hate it for you. It feels like the world is just out of control today.
