Time to Pray
As it all slips away
Apace ever faster
The future dimming
It's time to pray
As untruth replaces truth
Hatred replaces respect
Diatribe replaces discourse
It's time to pray
When God is a neurological disorder
Healthy babies with heads crowning during childbirth are disposable
Racism is not judging people by the color of their skin
It's time to pray
When civility is the past
Mayhem and destruction are the present
I want what I want is aspirational
It's time to pray
Inner city children are barely literate
Inner city residents are shot daily
Inner city poverty is without hope
It's time to pray
Unity
Equality
Justice
Civility
Bill of Rights
One person, one vote
Government of the people, by the people, for the people
One nation under God
It's time to pray
May the hearts of those who rule our lives be filled with wisdom and justice. May all our hearts be filled with wisdom and justice. Amen.
