do you care enough
to put my name in your prayers?
i ask god for health
not only for me
but you too
everything i ask for comes in pairs
yet some things don’t matter
a poor man asks me for spare change
i keep my eyes up
where was god for him?
if he’s so powerful why do so many die
not to be sacrificed
not to be taught a lesson
not because “god has a plan”
but only because they did not believe
or so they say
my mind cannot tell the difference between
god and my soul
and sometimes i think they don’t exist
neither of them
but that’s just part of my plan
i don’t banish the beliefs
but i do feel selfish to ask from him
as if it’s my fault if something bad happens
like i could’ve prevented it by believing him
but maybe he’s not some higher being
maybe he’s just like us
maybe his soul is part of everyone
