Jake Aller Poet Political Verse

Prayer Works

Dear Speaker Ryan

I want to tell you something
?The dead don’t want your prayers
?The dead don’t care
 that you pray for them?
They are dead after all

And you and your so-called Christians
?Are to blame?
You refuse to do anything
?Anything at all
 to stop the carnage
?In our streets

The U.S. is flooded with guns
?And more are sold every day

Millions of people don’t have health coverage
?Millions are barely surviving
?And your answer?
Our dear great compassionate Speaker

Your answer? 
Is Prayer works
?Government action does not
You act as if the gun violence
?Plaguing our country
?Was like the weather
?Beyond our control

Here’s my prayer for you?
And your colleagues
When you die?
I pray that God?
Will send you

And your friends
?Straight to hell
Where Satan 
and his demons?
Will use you for target practice
That’s my prayer to you?
And as you know?
Prayer works

note: this may be too political and in your face but I don't care. I have had enough of this nonsense. We must stop the carnage in our streets! That’s my two cents worth and I am sticking to my guns pun very much intended.
