Manna Prayer

Let's get demanding with the gods of the children of Abraham! A poem-prayer

Abrahamic gods,
I demand a miracle! 
You’ve done it before, and 
we need you to do it again.

Drop manna on Palestine!
Send clear water streaming 
through disconnected taps! 
Make olive trees grow back in a day!

Keep up the miracles until
Palestinians can return home. 
The whole world is crying out—
show us what you got. 
We need to see the sun again. 

If you don’t do as I demand,
I’ll ask my god
as backup, just in case.
The one who is all time, times, space and spaces. 
And then who will you be? 

I’m asking you first
to be polite. 
You won’t get another chance.
