Context

Text

Oh, heavenly father,

if you are there, I hope

you hear my prayer soon.

Our nation is being taken over,

with each passing day,

by atheists, radical socialists,

and homosexuals alike.

We are being led by a fraud that

rejects your very existence. Our culture,

which has preserved our community and

our devotion to your word, is fading.

Virtual technology is

blurring the lines between what exists

in man’s mind, and what truly is

God’s creation.

Robotic beings created by

the radicals non-believers are

constantly taking the jobs of those of us

is small-towns outside the country,

leaving us to starve as our crops and plants die out,

and too many of our homes remain damaged

by the storms and floods

that come our way each year.

Even the very concept

of man and woman seems to be fading,

with each passing year.

Please, I hope you will

soon deliver us from these forces of Satan.

Please show them your wrath.

Help show us the way.

Give us a sign.

Anything at all.

Please, father in Heaven,

deliver us from evil.
