Critical Thinking – A World View

Ode To A Prayer

by me (Bigstick)

A person walked into the story today drunk off his feet.

I said a prayer for him which I thought was rather sweet.

He drove off in his car without a peep.

My prayer gave me instant positive feedback that made me feel all warm, gushy and neat.

I guess I should dealt in reality and involved myself with humanity.

Now two people lie dead with another having threes squares and a bed.

Today a friend told me they are being beat.

I told them I would pray for them, I thought that was rather neat.

My prayer gave me instant positive feedback that made me feel all warm, gushy and upbeat.

I guess I should have dealt in reality and involved myself with humanity.

However, that would have been a feat.

Now they lie dead in the morgue ready to be planted six-foot deep.

Today I pray to Allah/God to cure my child of pneumonia as he is close to defeat.

My prayer gave me instant positive feedback that made me feel all warm, gushy and neat.

I guess I should have dealt in reality and involved myself with humanity.

I should be happy I suppose that a relative did not share  in my belief but instead dealt in reality.

So they called the ambulance and my child’s health become a doctor’s priority.

Again I guess I should have been happy but the act annoyed me as they should have respected my belief grounded in fantasy.

Now my child lies in a hospital bed hooked up to machines to help him breathe while monitoring his heart beat.

Now I decide to say a prayer to assist me in my feeling of defeat.

My prayer gave me instant positive feedback that made me feel all warm, gushy and upbeat.
