Praying

By Dennis Pickering

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

© 9/11/2001 Dennis L Pickering Praying to god is but a ruse To withhold people from a muse That they can get a hold upon And carry with them till the dawn Of a new day upon this Earth If it gets here before the birth Of a new idea that’s had Of anyone who might be sad Praying is a supplication To get something for duration Given to you by someone else Rather than get it for yourself If you will only understand You can possess things with a hand Mostly from others in this land Not from god that you think is grand Written September 11th, 2001 © on Sep 15 2001 12:38 PM PST, Dennis Pickering   17 • 13
