Say A Prayer

November 4, 2016

Pray for us.

Pray for me and them and the world and pray.

 Bow your head and whisper

God.

God, pray.

But when will we stop praying.

And start doing.

They were doing, living their freedom under a rainbow colored sky. 

They were dancing, loving and learning. Until they couldn't. They weren't praying.

They were doing. 

Don't pray.

Do. 

Just do. 

Don't just whisper words for the dead, do something to help the living.

Don't pray.

Prayers are for people

People who will forget.

Doing is for the silent heroes.
