the profits of her prayer

good lil’ christian katy perry

(bearing her subtle “jesus” tattoo on her

wrist…as if to remind her that “he’s

always here”)

recently told a magazine

that she prayed to “god” when she

was young to give her large breasts

so that she could not see her feet

when she was lying down….

and so “god”

who didn’t have the time to stop the

Holocaust,

who didn’t have the time to obliterate

the slavery & genocide &

senseless slaughter

committed by

humans upon

humans upon

humans in

its name,

took the time out to

“answer her prayers when she turned

11.”

“proof” of the profits of her “prayers,”

like the “proof” of so many others on bended knees

(squinting eyes tight & mumbling to themselves),

perpetuates the idiocy,

by making guys who want to fuck her

think they will if they “pray” real hard &

girls who want to be just like her,

think that they’ll get something of the same that she

believes that she did,

in return.

and this is the country we live in.
