Pray for a better today
better tomorrow
better community
better health care
better schools
better media that minds their own
better cancer treatments
this is what I do
but I am laughed at
because they say it is dumb
that me praying is doing nothing
that I should go and make a physical change
why
I can do that
I know how
but you don't know what I know
then they laugh harder
I walk away because it is not worth me battling
I have better things that I could do
and none of them
involve me standing here with you
arguing
