Do you fear God? My brother said I shouldn't fear Something that doesn't exist, And yet I see him pray from time to time For good health, for good wealth, For the girl sitting next to him in English To notice him. I don't understand why he could be so bitter He is alive, he lives a good life With me, my mother, my father, and dog. Why should you pray for a good life, When the way to have a good life Is just to live? To answer my own question Yes I do fear God Or whomever has power over my fate. He could shove down a path Full of darkness and leave me To breathe heavily Crawling a midst the depths of the hole He and I created. And I know my brother fears Him, or Her, or It. Because he wouldn't being praying for a good life If he didn't want his to slip away.

Fire Broke Out and Burned My World
