though much happens
in this life
to like
to love
to enjoy
to savor
the prayers
for my
selfish desires
go largely
unanswered
by a god
who seems ambivalent
preoccupied
or just too busy
with sandwich and poker game
to get back to me
even
my own actions
(as halting as they are)
betray me
and stab me
in the back
with their deceptive
hands
and sneer at me
with that insincere smile.
