*** A Prayer for God ***
By Barry Long
I send a prayer for you
dear father,
a prayer for you father, father of all
creation.
Please bless you father with the strength to
bear
the news of what we've done,
especially as we still
do.
Please bless you father with the strength to bear
the
ache that surely is to be,
to mother 'earth' on her knees.
The
tick, tick of time through the dimensions
have been as a heart
beat
for your wife, our mother.
The beats are growing
short
plus she's running a temp.
Her eternal eyes growing
dim, with tears that burn.
Time has come dear father, the
eternal time since creation
Time has come dear father, on the
eve of your wifes demise
Time has come dear father, to lance
the boil
Time has come dear father, to disinfect the wound
Time
has come dear father, for your return
Please bless you
father with the strength to bear
the news of what we've
done,
especially as we still do.
Please bless you father
with the strength to bear
the ache that surely is to be,
to
mother 'earth' in this way.
It is with heavy heart, I report to
you dear father
we make mother breathe gross foul air,
It is
with heavy heart, I report to you dear father
we give mother
poison laced water to drink
It is with heavy heart, I report to
you dear father
we have shaved her once proud hair to leave her
bald
It is with heavy heart, I report to you dear father
we
have taken mothers shelter from the sun, so now she burns
It is
with heavy heart, I report to you dear father
we think we can
replace mother with a test tube and still grow
It is with heavy
heart, I report to you dear father
we think we can replace you
with a chip and still have path
It is with heavy heart, I
report to you dear father
we think we can replace love with
lust, and still be whole
know you're not alone
know you're
not alone
Please bless you father with the strength to
bear
the news of what we've done,
especially as we still
do.
Please bless you father with the strength to bear
the
ache that surely is to be,
to mother 'earth' in this
way.
Please know if you feel extreme disappointment
you're
not alone dear father
Please know if you feel emotional
pain
you're not alone dear father
Please know if your eyes
are clouded with tears
you're not alone dear father
Please
know if you are extreme in your judgements of us
there are
those that forgive you
Please know if you wish an ear to hear
in this trial of the cosmos
their are those that wait to
hear
Please know you're not alone
Please know you're not
alone
Please bless you father with the strength to bear
the
news of what we've done,
especially as we still do.
Please
bless you father with the strength to bear
the ache that surely
is to be,
to mother 'earth' in this way.
The tick, tick of
time through the dimensions
have been as a heart beat
for
your wife, our mother.
The beats are growing short
plus
she's running a temp.
Her eternal eyes growing dim, with tears
that burn.
Time has come dear father, the eternal time
since creation
Time has come dear father, on the eve of your
wifes prime
Time has come dear father, to lance the boil
Time
has come dear father, to disinfect the world
Time has come dear
father, for your return
know you're not alone
know
you're not alone
p.s. dear father, one last thing to
report
In case this is the last chance to say
let it be said
now on the eve of time
Dear father and mother
I love
you
I love you, I love you
Bless you mother and father for
I
love you both till the end of time
Bless you mother and father
for
I love you both till the end of time
Amen amen amen
