Let’s pray and kill and kill and pray and kill
and kill and pray and pray and teach our young
to pray and kill and kill and pray. Who will
lead the way in doing God’s will? We’d sung
and chanted and chanted and sung for God
to protect us in our killing. We lived
and so knew all God’s will. We kill the sod
and kill the air and kill the water. Give
us credit: We kill our fellow humans,
our animals, our birds, our insects, our
sane sense of living. We shout, “Yes We Can!”
We kill our trees, our flowers, sense the hour
to kill our seeds. Now there’s only you and me.
We pray. Click on virtual reality.
