Prayer is an interesting exercise
One talks to the person in charge
And waits
To wake up
And discover the reality
That “He” listened
“He” stooped and heard my cry
“He” delivered me from the pit
“He” showed mercy to those who feared “Him”
But for those who are not chosen
Yet choose nonetheless
Like chicken soup or beef stew
And commit to entertaining the fantasy
Of a “He” who loves to listen
And has many things to say
But is mute
And struggles in popularity
With only one bestseller
“He” is merely the residue
The excuse
The guy up high who’s qualified
And highly recommended to fix existential leaks
Better than the guy down the street
“His” credentials cover heaven and earth
When they pray
They wake up to the same reality
As those who parrot proverbs
And wash in lamb’s blood
The only difference between them
Is gratitude for the exercise
