People Pray

People pray; give me absolution Take my sins away Make me a better person today But seldom, does it happen that way. People pray for friends and family Many ask for more security—prosperity Lord, send some more money, hope my way I'll promise not to squander it, blow it all away. People pray for their own, difficulties Pray for others of a natural disaster Lord, take care of my sister & brother Lord, take good care of my mother & father. People pray for other people of a different faith or of no faith Lord, we are all dandelion seeds scattered to the four winds Lord, water these poor thirsty folk Prevent them from leading empty lives, from going to hell broke. Some people pray for their enemies Ask on their behalves for forgiveness Repent, preaching the ten commandments of Moses As they share useless, hollow, condolences. These people pray, give me absolution Take my sins away Make me a better person today But seldom, does it happen this way. I pray Lord; all these seeds don't find religion But-just learn to flower and flourish anyhow By any means, they too know-how Not any day soon, but now.
