Gravity bound

Been trying to leave here
since born of this earth.
I can't stand the hunger;
I can't stand the thirst.
Gravity bound me
since day of my birth.
This body so heavy
I don't mean the girth.

Steadily, inexorably,
it's pulling me down.
I'd rather be elsewhere
I'm gravity bound.
This appetite binds me
the sights and the sound.
I'm mentally babbling
pretending profound.

Been trying to leave here
since day of my birth.
This body so heavy
I don't mean the girth.
I'd rather be elsewhere
but fell for this earth.
The damned of the fallen;
now cuddling dirt.

Praying

We pray to God.
This much is true.
Prayers sent to Heaven,
and God prays too.

We pray an end
to suff'ring and strife.
God prays too,
and prayed your life.

We pray for mercy
and right reprieve.
So earnestly
on bended knee.

We look to the sky.
We plead and wait.
And God looks out,
and does the same.

We bow our heads
yet see no sign.
Feeling abandoned
we sob and cry.
Pray and pray
and wonder why.
We are our answer
our own reply.

We pray to God.
And God prays too.
God sent a prayer,
and it was you.
