Chickamauga!
Braxton Bragg is gone. The Illinois boys took Missionary ridge charging uphill screaming Chickamauga!. Ulysses Grant is now in complete control of Chattanooga. Recounted to you on this cold day December the 22nd in the year of our lord 1863. How many more must die in this insatiable lust for blood. No glory is left only killing, savage struggles where there is no clear right. Only fighting and dying. So many times brother against brother and uncle killing cousins. Surely this will be the end. All the fields in valley are covered with snow, though unable to clear the blood split not long ago. Now to forge pruning hooks and plowshares. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
Brothers are we to commit to the beast that takes the first fruit?
Washington eats our young men, off to war for oil?
I am reminded of the words of Isaiah son of amoz,
How the faithful city has become a whore ! She was full of Justice, righteousness was lodged in heart-
but now murderers!
Your silver has become dross,
your wine is mixed with water.
Your princes are rebels and
the companions of thieves.

Everyone loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan and the widows cause does not come before them.
