Pray Harder

It only proves the world can take a punch,
When you flail wildly but get no response.

It’s hard to accept nothing’s eternal
But hordes of things last longer than you do.

Your whole world is you, your experience
And nothing else, and your experience

Tells you, if you’re listening, that you aren’t
Of much consequence to your world you are.

So you quit listening and keep flailing
At your whole world, which isn’t listening.
