dear god i was thinking about it the other day the dying the sickness the hunger the one person getting hurt equaling a million prayers yet the boys and girls being thrown in the basement bruised and battered get nothing i've been praying for sixteen going on seventeen years and what do i get little but the years before fourteen meant little every year after meant a lot my heart and soul went into hoping war would end and children would thrive and she would fight for me but alas none of this came true children starve and are beaten women are ***** men are murdered unthinkable acts of violence must go unseen because we worry about the small things so verily verily i give unto you, this time, my final prayer an echo a dream of space and the universe of peace and love of literature and poetry of songs sung loudly proof proof i need proof i want her to love me not anyone else because that will not be true and even though i say this over and over again that all i want is some peace of mind and some attraction to last throughout eternity i figure, knowing you (for the most part) nothing will come through and I'll be left here to fight in the Nothing keep a man with two billion dollars safe and sound, though you're good at that
