Dangerous Prayers

I think something has gone wrong with my prayer,

Maybe a lot of prayers?

So I caution proper articulation

When beseeching the deity.

I was thinking about selling my house

Back in oh-eight,

I couldn’t make up my mind.

One day, after a little too much wine,

I prayed for a fleece.

Now, considering what went on,

I can only assume I was slurring my words.

I admit, I’m grabbing at straws for an explanation,

And I’m stretching it figuring

There where all these other people

Praying slurred prayers

And we all actually ended up praying to be fleeced,

But why else would all these banker dudes

And politicians

Be getting off Scott free

For tanking the economy over and over?

Act of God is the only thing I can come up with.

I mean unless it’s pure greed and hubris,

Which would mean the other guy

Is answering someone else’s prayers and,

I don’t even want to think about that.
