prayers of the holy father
January 21, 2023
mary ,
pray
mama ,
pray
father , holy father
tell me you love your son
pray , should you have mercy
pray because he loved a boy
pry his fingers from his lover’s lips
a man shouldn’t love a man, right?
father , you’re naive like a boy is
boy , bow
down to the ground
let all pride and dignity be stripped
from you
oh , how you pray
on your knees for your reputation
you pray
you , prey.
