The Whore's Prayer

[DavidF]

I would really have liked something like 'coward be thy name'. Cum comes too soon in this poem for me. I feel I hadn't gotten to know enough before it was introduced.

The Whore’s Prayer

Our fathers who aren’t in heaven
were cowards without names.
They slinged some cum,
their will was done,
or worse, for a slice of heaven.
Give them today their daily head,
and forgive our short lived asses,  
as we give in to those who press flesh against us,
resisting not temptation,
but delivered into evil,
by the power of the almighty dollar,
handed over, and over
by men.
