A Time For Prayer

A mother and her two children actually froze to death in my neighborhood in the early 70's because they didn't have money to pay the gas bill. This was before the "cold weather rule."

Come my brothers
For we must worship
At the altar of Business.
We must honor its trinity
Lights, Gas and Profit.
We must humble ourselves before them
And give of our substance
So that we may increase the greatest god Profit.
Blessed be the name of Profit.
We must honor Lights and Gas above all other gods
For in so doing, we increase the holiest of the trinity
The god Profit.
Blessed be the expectation of Profit.
May we never deprive him of his due
By buying food for our families.
We can starve our children
That will dishonor us but not Profit.
Blessed be the increase of Profit.
When our allotted span is complete
Though found dead of malnutrition
We shall be remembered as those who honored the trinity
and increased Profit.
Blessed be the hope of Profit.
