BELIEVE IT OR NOT
The worshippers have their faith well polished
as they tend to prayers to wash away their sins
pleading for forgiveness, beseeching for things
not understanding the nuance of what it means.
Most believers are waning, wanting and begging
the faithful are humbly thankful, deeply affirming
there is the odd vindicator, ranting and grunting
demanding satisfaction, grudgingly complaining.
True faith is a matter of believing in benign deeds
prayers are utterances of the conscientious need
genuine quest is sharp focused but hardly selfish
the heartfelt wish will go long ways yet not perish.
