I am not a praying man, but if I were . . .

with head held high
thoughts and projections without fear
thoughts are forever free
splintered and miles apart philosophies
blood-splattered domestic war zones
words still have the ring of truth
we reach out, tirelessly, towards excellence
the unique flow of sanity has not lost its raison d'être
in the dreariness of the night
our thoughts and prayers are to thee
in our ever-expanding notions and exploits
into all that we are
please let my country awake before its too late

From the looks of things it's going to take a miracle of Biblical proportions to keep us
from walking the path of prophesy.

I can't get my thoughts around what prophesy you mean, Ida, but I'm looking for a landslide defeat for the man in the White House.

Many thanks, Karen, for joining the leagues of people who want "hope and change" to revert back to people who don't rule by such infantile methods as hope and change, but actually work to steady a shaky ship called America.
