A Prayer In Hell

A Prayer In Hell
We sit and say a prayer,
We kneel before our beds
We drive and bless the others,
We give our souls up for a quick little dare

Taking a chance of hope,
Thinking that maybe someone listens
Perhaps it's the only way we get through,
Believing that our prayers get answered is a way to cope

Now even if this sounds evil,
Think about our day to day situations
The karmic ways we get treated in the end,
At times it seems no one hears our cries no matter how loud we scream still

This is why faith is lost so easily by many,
Giving up is the one way that a lot of people know how to do
Can't think of how easy it is to lose faith instead of holding to hope,
Perhaps now you can look at the situation and actually understand and see??

No matter how many hail marries or blessings over us are given,
It seems that at times no one or nothing can listen hard enough to our words
So then we just decide to give up and accept what is coming our way,
People preach to and at us constantly as they tell us WE are the absolute sin

The point of the rhyme above my dear people who still hold a heart not made of coal,
Is a simple one at best
You need to to have hope in something within this world or even within the next,
For if you do not then you've already lost the only thing that matters & that is your soul.

"Can't think of how easy it is to lose faith instead of holding to hope,

Wise words in the poem. Easy to fall to the worldly way. But in the end. What will be your reward? I tell people best be kind and help your family and friends. No reward for people who live for the wrong things. A very strong ending to a excellent poem.
