59% of Africa practices Islam. Five times
throughout the day, the giraffe’s heads
point toward Mecca. The hippos have
the hardest times turning. Sometimes
they don’t make it, and that is when
the gazelles laugh in high leaps.
70% of them laugh.
A third of the world say they believe
in Christ. Half of them capitalize
his name in text messages. A quarter
like to write it as JC. The rest
are too scared to ever write it down.
Or say it out loud. Sometimes
They are the ones that pray.
95% Say thank you.
76% I’m sorry.
67% Good job.
61% I need help.
47% Wait in silence.
346% of us are looking for someone.
I think those the 47 percent waiting
know where he is. Probably a cave.
We know this because of the man
with the clipboard that waits outside
the church. “What were you praying about?”
Thoughts: *I was asking god to help me **** the neighbor lady.*
Words: I was asking forgiveness.
The man with the clipboard knows all
writes down that they were
praying in a time of need.
When 32% are reincarnated. 70%
of us will crawl. Half of our
bodies will bruise, and exactly
one part of us will remember.
Then in the silence that the 47 percent
left. 47 quiet answers will arrive
to the other 53.
They will shouting
their praise. Every one
percent of ourselves
will never hear
God kneel and pray.
