Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Empty Prayer

In this year, two thousand thirteen,
We still pray for a better world.
Bits of better come in between
The waves of worse that we have hurled.
When God reviews the humankind,
We surely must fall short of be
Bettering all heart, soul and mind.
Self only serves self selfishly.
Most humans only seek to win,
And do so with lies and deceit.
What we do better is to sin.
Winning is better than defeat.

A better world we all pray for.
We don't believe it any more.
