Some People Pray

I saw a group of Americans cheer
the decline in the US credit rating.
I wonder if they bake cakes

for an increase in unemployment.
To hell with the hungry kids (pause for bite of cake)
as long as the President looks bad.

Some people are praying for work.
Others pray for rain.  Still others
pray, and then preach hatred.

There are politicians
in Iowa today
doing all of the above.

I don't go to church anymore.
Forgive me father, at least
I'm not a hate-monger.

Forgive me father, I believe
in the greatest happiness
for the greatest number.

Forgive me father,
I have become
unelectable.
