Questions in his mind that rumbled and tumbled, Should he seek a world for believers?
Should he seek a place for dreamers?
Should he seek a space of solidarity?
Should he seek a dance ofclarity?…

Was undone, then done by all his searching
with thoughts in his mind.
He was tired of walking and working,
To find a place of comfort he would find.
Which was where he started,
Which was just fine. The underlined words are from a Wednesday Words in 2015. This bumbled and fumbled in my mind. This rumbled out. This was posted in 2019.
The musical "1776" in movie and on stage revealed more about the Declaration of Independence than I ever thought about. Each video is about 4 minutes long.

At one point, Adams and Franklin are discussing how history will view them. He said don't worry we'll be dead and that history would clean it all up.
If you can watch this, do! So many good actors, such good music, and messages for our generations are there.
Annnndd,
we’re back.I’m Jimmy on WGEM with Dr.
Bill chewing the fat with Joliet Federal Penitentiary inmate, J.C. Today is “why did you
murder someone?”
Dr. Bill…Greetings one and all. We have J.C.
to tell us about Delia. (Clears throat). Okay, Johnny boy, tell us why
and how you killed Delia.
J.C…Delia, oh Delia. Delia, all my life. If I hadn’t shot poor Delia, I’d have had her
for my wife…(loud
sniffing). Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone.
Dr. Bill…Damn straight confession here,
Johnny. What brought you here? Why kill Delia? (dim chuckling into the mic). Big time loser, here Jimmy,
commercial time. Bring me a beer?
J.C…Well, I went up to Memphis and met
Delia there. Found her in her parlor, tied her in her chair. Now, Delia’s gone.
(Nose blowing). One
more time, Delia’s gone.
Dr. Bill…Hey, now. Why in hell would you kill
someone like Delia? I mean, are you such a lowlife you’d do this? Okay, Jimmy. Make that two beers.
J.C…Well, Delia was low down and trifling
and she was cold and mean. That kind of evil make me want to grab my
submachine. (amused
laugh).
Dr. Bill… A submachine gun? Good grief,
man. A little overkill, don't you think? Soooo, then what happened?Jimmy, are you recording this?
J.C…First time I shot her, I shot her
in the side. (Chuckling and profanity)
Dr. Bill…In her side? Not a kill shot, Johnny
boy. Why not? In fact, that was sadistic. Man, that was just plain cold. Look this guy’s name up, okay? You hear that, Jimmy?
J.C…Hard to watch her suffer, but with
the second shot, she died. (Sound of toilet flush. A string of obscenities.)
Dr. Bill… Okay, now. Johnny boy, your lack of
remorse is amazing. You killed her, man!What bothers you about any of her murder? Jimmy, once J.C. is done here, we gotta hit our
favorite burger and beer joint.
J.C… Jailer,
oh, jailer. (Who’s up for some weightlifting?after I finish this?) I can’t sleep ‘cause all
around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia’s feet. Delia’s gone, on more
time.
Dr. Bill… Okay, J.C. let’s wrap this up. So
what’re your final words of advice to all those innocent inmates?
J.C…So, if your woman’s devilish you
can let her run. Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done.
Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone. (Guard, guard! Get me outta
here.)
Dr. Bill…
Well there you have
it folks. Know anyone on lifetime vacations at a strange hotel facility? Heavy swearing. Delia, oh, Delia. How did you get hooked up
with one cold hearted bastard?
Okay, I know. This is one dark song, with a dark humor. No one does this like Johnny Cash. If you can look beyond that, great!
