DEAR LORD, SOME HELP, PLEASE



When I go hungry, Help me keep my cool! Please, also help me never take offense. Please, Help me not ta be an angry Fool, but always show that I've got better sense!”

PRAYER FOR GOODNESS

 “Please, lead our steps ta Paradise on Earth; instruct our hearts ta love with all we got! Please, help us realize your gifts’ true worth, and live our lives the way You kindly taught. May peace and justice start with us and spread, around the world, ta cover everyone. Help all the sick get well, the hungry fed; Lord, through our hands, may Heaven’s will be done!”

SMILING

I’d not be hungry, scared, and angry, too; and so, some smiling ‘s what I’m gonna do! Oh yes, a smile’s my bad-vibe antidote; and here’s the end, ‘cause this is all I wrote!”

MERCY FOR THE FAT ONE

I got ta eat ta pacify the beast, continual Hunger’s got a Hold on me. Cast out this demon, Lord, please, bring a priest; if only I could be more hunger-free! Please, Heaven, Help this hapless fat man out! And help me love myself, I might get well! I’ve heard that Love is what it’s all about, so, Lord of Love, oh, please, my hunger quell!”

KINDNESS IS SWEET

Kindness Is Sweet
(to a greedy warmonger)

When People Buy your Lies, they feel aFraid, and That's the Way you'd have your Suckers Be. And You, you're Scared ya Haven't Got it Made; your Greed's imPrisoned you, No-Way you're Free! It Must be Lonely, There inSide your Cell; if You ain't There, its There you're Headed For! Your Deadly Fears creAte your Special Hell – you ain't conTent, you're Always Cravin' More!
But Me, I've done some Evil stuff, mySelf, so I can't Claim ta Be so Lily-Pure; and I can't really Judge noBody Else – but Buddy, You been CHEATin' Folks, fer Sure!

So When you Count your Cash beFore ya Sleep, and Poor folks Pray ta Have eNough ta Eat, just Know that What ya Sow, you're Gonna Reap, and KINDness, Not yer Selfishness, is SWEET!
