pray

songs of emotion

short on devotion

prayer without ceasing

through sickness and health

the trademark of deception

is written in stealth

I know all about

or so I presume

King Solomon's court

yet my common sense

is built to consume

and remains perpetually

a few coins short

what can I do

what will I say

how do I know

how do I pray

when all is not well

with my soul
