2 Dead People

Out of all the dead people
And there are billions and
Billions of dead people
.
“Most people are dead.
Did you know that?
It’s true, out of all the people
that ever were,
almost all of them are dead.”
.

The two I wish were
Still animated are
My mom and my uncle
.
My mom
.
So that as perceptions go
Satiate the notion that she
Would have gotten along
Swimmingly with my wife
.
Assumedly free from ego
To share cooking nuances
Recipes and raviolis
Likewise enjoy the children
Grandchildren and travel
.
My uncle
.
Just because I miss him
He was the one who taught
Me any plumbing carpentey
Electrical skills which are
.
All being used at once to
Construct an indulgence he
Would have been amused by
Helped with and enjoyed a
Nice cold beer with afterwards
.
Regardless of all of the
Intense thoughts
And fervent prayers
They fall flat against
Disintegration and ashes
.
The best I can do
To conjure them up at all
Is to pool as liquid out of
The corner of my eyes
Which seems to strain
The back of my throat
.
What a light / dark way to
Highlight the effectiveness
Of prayer. Must be God’s will
.
“Here’s something else, another problem you might have: Suppose your prayers aren’t answered. What do you say?

“Well, it’s God’s will.” “Thy Will Be Done.” Fine, but if it’s God’s will, and He’s going to do what He wants to anyway, why the fuck bother praying in the first place?

Seems like a big waste of time to me! Couldn’t you just skip the praying part and go right to His Will? It’s all very confusing.
