Praying...

yes - that Devo song!

Praying...

i’m praying for it to rain

snakes and fire

sharpened bits of steel

rusty razor blades

broken bottles

or…

white tail spiders

on your ceiling fan

red back spiders

in an empty can

but…

if the snakes were on fire

that’d sorta be ok

as long they can wiggle

hiss and bite

don’t want no singed serpents

that haven’t got any fight

still…

reptilian flame suppression

now that’s a new one to me

but then so is praying

i can’t shut my mind

till i open my heart

and that’s where

the trouble

seems to start

give giving gave

then…

For Fun
