Dear Lord on this National Day of Prayer
help us give freedom from health care.

Too long the wealthy have been bothered
keeping their sisters and their brothers

alive and healthy with their taxes.
Dear Lord, help us swing our axes

to sever the chains that bind the rich
to Christian charity that enriches

moochers at the expense of pride.
Don’t call us cruel  or even unkind!

We love our pooches;
we give them smooches

but the poor, dear Lord, yearn for a savior.
Help us, Lord, do them a favor.
