An Agnostic Calls Out - Watch out! This might be a poem.

An Agnostic Calls Out

By jim bourey

It’s time for a prayer

I think. A heathen I am, an agnostic

for sure. But these days need faith

of some sort, of the vaguest or most

definite sort. So do it now. Do it

with me. Pray in the simplest way. Say

the name of your own cosmic controller.

Then say something like –

A little help here

please. We’ve got big trouble with hate.

We’ve got folks hating in the name of some

previously peaceful gods. We need some

changes. Help us out. I know You can.

If I can convince myself to pray

then I guess anyone can. And those

of you who have been practicing

the prayerful art better get at it

a little more intensely. It’s time.

We need faith these days. Definite

faith. Or vague, if that’s all you have.

If you have none at all send out

some positive energy. Whatever

that may be. It’s time for that too.
