Do you listen to the prayers of the wordy and the verbose?
Do you hear the children who pray for presents and gifts?
Do you hear the songs of the worship leaders?
Even if their hearts are far from you?
Do you listen to those who pray for only themselves?
Do you tune us out, close your ears and cover them?
Do you listen to me? My words of selfishness and desire- with no concern for others- no passion for your will.
Do you listen to me and my prayers for gain- financially, romantically, and physically?
Do you hear me and then roll your eyes and turn away?
Do you weep for me?
Do you wish I loved you more?
Do you?
I hope you do.
I hope you listen.
I hope you weep.
I hope you care- even about the fakers, the lost, the greedy...
even about me
