My prayers about shooing the Russians
out of the Ukraine have been unanswered
(or if they were unfavourably)
perhaps because I am an atheist but I figured
the all-powerful all-mighty Lord God would overlook
that minor condition although I admit that I did try
using his / her/ they that pronoun thing is confusing
and the also known as names we use for You
or more formally Thou
and I did a follow up addendum that mentioned
in passing only FYI
Yemen, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka,
Palestine, El Salvador, Somalia, and a caution
about Texas, Florida and Alberta but still
ye Gods and little fishes can you not do
something to stop the carnage
Or have you abandoned us to our self-created
misery of wars rape and pillaging as you did
with the former tyrants overlords maniacs
and their armies that swept all before them
like a pestilence of yore before we knew
by our immediate media what carnage was wrought
upon the children the aged and the innocents
but ye Gods and little fishes can you
not stop it or will we and these abuses
of humanity be but a footnote on the pages
of our history writ small again and yet again
I was thinking Lord
that a pestilence of frogs would be a good start
as happened in Exodus I think it was chapter 7
or was it 11 anyway visiting Vladimir with a horde
of frogs in his bed would be a good start
followed up with a scourge of grasshoppers
or locusts - he has orthopterophobia
but you knew that and failing frogs and locusts
you could try boils as I know from experience
that they are very testy especially on the bum
however if these subtle pestilences are too obvious
you could just smote him with a thunderclap
but ye Gods and little fishes
do something in Ukraine
please
Amen
