The Prayer/Wishlist

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dear God Please take away those who beat my brothers, Please take away those who raped my sisters Grant my family some money, To feed my children, and rub salt in my blisters Dear God Would you let me have a go At doing what you do Just so I could know Exactly, what it is your thinking Dear God Can you forgive our sins? Forgive my Asian brothers, ‘cos they thinkin’ Forgive the prisoners for committing no crime Forgive you, forgive me for making us live a lie Dear Satan What the fuck is your problem? Democracy, Poverty I can’t see or at least it seems to be , that way Who put the price up for prayer? Who put the price up for prayer? Like the man in the box, like he even cares “I listen to your shit” I’m raking it in The money, the stories that your telling I’m raking it in I wish I rich, I wish I was famous nah I wish I was an English man, with niggers blood upon my hands, nah I wish I was an Equal man, I’d hold my colours hand in hand Dear God Nah, But equality was never for you You saved the foolish And punished those that do.... What they want, independence What they want! Written October 11th, 2001 © on Feb 27 2002 07:08 AM PST   10 • 0 • 13
