Silent Prayer

(c) Mark D. Holt
 
 

A message to God,
if you are there?
Listen now
to my silent prayer.
 

Give me wealth
and give me power.
I'll change the world
and make it flower.
 

I'll banish poverty
and eliminate crime.
I'll clean the streets
of the constant grime.
 

I'll end the wars
and wipe out disease.
I'll unite the nations
and bring global peace.
 

A little luck
is all that I ask,
so help me now
to achieve this task.
