A Prayer for the Living
Location
Another one gone,
but I don't pray for them,
not for their broken bodies,
or their short lived lives,
I pray for the ones left over,
those they left behind,
broken in spirit,
I pray for Brit,
whose mother is dead,
whose father is poor,
whose baby sister is motherless,
whose little brother is now broken,
I don't care about her mother,
burried now,
there is nothing to be done,
I care about Brit,
who now has one less parent,
who now has to care for her few month older sister,
I don't pray for the dead,
that might make me cruel,
and cold,
and heartless,
and I rarely pray for the living,
but I pray for Brit,
even though neither of us are religious,
and have long sinse left the light of such things as heaven,
but I pray for Brit,
even though it's silent,
and I don't think anyone will here,
I pray for Brit.
