Prayer for Bush


I humbly urge all people
ta pray for George W. Bush

May this man find greater wisdom
instead of rheotrical mush

May You awaken his conscience
& give him a progressive swoosh

May You blast away his ignorance
& provide him with a moral push

May the thousands he has orphaned
be more mericful than he was

Most of all, Dear Lord,
I pray dis guy will stop
using Your Name in vain
cuz when hatred or greed
are veiled as piety
it amounts ta
a spiritual am-
Bush

Terri: This guy is poisoned: anytime hatred enters our hearts, it poisons us.
Sam: Doesn't Bush need all of the prayers he can get?
Ted: This is a satire - not a prayer. And I find it hard to pray for a guy who has murdered so many.
Kris: That's all the more reason to pray for him . . .
Tim: Bush represents the blind self-rightousness that's in all of us.
If you look closely enough, you can find the same sort of foolish arrogance and greed
in your own heart.
Ted: Maybe I should get a heart transplant.
