GOD’S PRAYER by Christopher Bledsoe

I wish that every man would be faithful to his wife
I wish that people would remove from their hearts hatred, bigotry and strife

Each heart would beat in appreciation of my painting
A fiery red sky or blue paint hugging clouds displaying my staining

Young children can play and nothing but growth and love would surround their soul
Animals, free roaming, grasslands vibrant no suffering, just natural gold

Religion would be true, standing as a beam for the whole world to see
The empire of selfishness would fall, they would no longer know the word me

Tears are only joy, song and dance is pure
They refuse to believe in differences of race, holy spirit is the cure

I could watch over 7 billion people daily and never have to see pass the smog
Instead, the world burning with the fire of unity creating a sweet-smelling fog

People would not blame me for their sexuality and pain
They would understand, I am the unfailing canopy protecting them from the rain

War would simply not exist, I am the rightful king
No tallies of casualties or maimed bodies, no drugs, no phene

They would never be told to sin all week and go to church on Sunday and bear their soul
They would understand that being genuine Christians, a fun life you do not have to fold

I opened up my heart and invited you to hear my words because I hope you care
Thank you for listening to the most important poem, God’s prayer.
