Our Father, never mind the trespasses,
just save our sorry asses from the consequences of our actions. We’re a dumb lot so lead us not into temptation carrying guns and money. Deliver us from news, the ruse of imagination reborn in ashes of fear. Unsay words that can’t be unsaid and breathe glory into us, thy kingdom, your power, love |
