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.
