G
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
      C                                       G
He is trampling out the vineyards where the grapes of wrath are stored.
                                             Em
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword.
    Am       D        G
His truth is marching on.

G                          C                    G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah!
                   Em         Am       D        G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on!

G
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
          C                             G
They have build-ed Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
                                         Em
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps.
    Am     D        G
His day is marching on.

G
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat,
          C                           G
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat.
                                        Em
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him!  Be jubilant, my feet!
    Am     D        G
Our God is marching on.

G
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
       C                             G
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
                                   Em
As He died to make me holy, let us live to make men free,
      Am     D        G
While God is marching on.

"Blue Cheese Gone Bad" - A Murder Mystery - Not One Word is True, It's Fiction!

Prolog: In the beginning, Doggod created the Heavenz and the Dirt. Later, he/she/it would create Blue Cheese... I've always wondered about The First Guy to eat Blue Cheese... It Looks and Smells Poisonous but it's actually really Good! That First Guy had Courage or bad eyesight... or maybe he was just REALLY Hungry.

Disclaimer: No, I did not Google the keywords "untraceable poison" at the Public Library using the sign in name "John Smith". You would have to ask Mr. Smith about that.

~~~~~ Clues! ~~~~~

The murder weapon was a kitchen knife that was recently used to cut Blue Cheese. The yeast that makes the cheese blue has a Unique DNA and the poLice were able trace it to the specific company that grew it. Extremely expensive, the cheese was sold at Trendy Yuppie Shops that deliver... and know where you live... and are coming to get you... nyah ha ha ha ha

Great Books:The "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy by JRR Tolkien. "The Hobbit" Classic fiction popular with Hippies in the Late Sixties. Made into Great Movies and Led Zeppelin Songs.

These are great books to read while stoned on marijuana... It's a total fantasy world that a smoker can inhabit...


Tolkien invented a World that was loosely based on Rural English Countryside before the Industrial Revolution. It was populated with Hobbits, short people that lived in harmony with the Earth. Wizards, Tree People, Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, and... a Powerful RING... That made the wearer invisible but eventually enslaved the wearer... and turned him to Evil... Golem, a man that reminds me of a heroin addict...

They have EPIC adventures where they fight evil... and have mighty battles against monsters enslaved by a Dictator from Mordor.

Inspired by World War One... With the English (Hobbits) fighting the Germans (Orcs)...

The Elves in the Story are based one people that lived in Remote Finland.

Discussion of what it all means...

Rock bands of the 1970s were musically and lyrically inspired by the fantasy embracing counter-culture of the time; British 70s rock band Led Zeppelin recorded several songs that contain explicit references to The Lord of the Rings, such as mentioning Gollum in "Ramble On", the Misty Mountains in "Misty Mountain Hop", and Ringwraiths in "The Battle of Evermore".
