my ernest prayer.

dear god keep everyone safe from problems of the heart
let lovers not be apart
save my friends from pollution
for gastritis, asthma and allergies, give your solution
dengue fever's not too cool either
dear god keep all free of bubonic or pneumonic plague, leprosy,
alzheimer's or hiv please
pigs hearts, mad cows, fleas or lyme disease
but, for me dear god, well, dental makes me mental
save me from the peridontist
keep me from the orthodontist
if need be i'll not eat, i'll stay in bed, i don't care
just keep me from that dental chair
for lymph, lung or liver cancer
hair loss, back pain or cholestrol, give them all your answer
don't let the world turn our children into cynics
dear god i ask only that you keep me from those dental clinics
if this is too much to ask, of course, or if it's not fair
let me see your perfection everywhere.
