A fat man prays in world where starvation stalks
Forgive me, God,
for eating too much.
Forgive me, God,
for eating too much
when too many
have too little.
Forgive me, God,
for eating too much
while your beloved children
die from lack of food
caused by political decisions
and a lack of will.
Forgive me, God.
I know better.
Help me do better.
Amen..
