Star Wars - 2

Star Wars

Part 2

Now, why would Jesus say that when we pray, 

we're not to babble on, as Hindus do?

Well, could it be that we, acting that way

would be like babies who just burp and spew..

When we in fact, through being given more

time, are like children  practicing to walk,

not babes, but children who are 2 to 4

but just beginning now to learn to talk, 

who try to learn from other babbling kids -

who're orphans with no parents to teach them. 

Also, since prayer may be in fact our bid 

somehow to now reach out and touch his hem,

acknowledging his presence, and invoke-

ing, pleading for his help, expecting it.

This most creative being is quite stoked,

his sons and daughters are not "little shits".

What sort of gift my prayers are to this one -

can I imagine how this God might feel? 

The Jewish prophets before "Adam's Son"

had some to say. Their metaphors reveal!

.. I think he might be bored right to the bone.

More unrespectable emotions - for 

creative folk - the prophets say were shown

by this God, to their rituals and more.

He didn't seem to think they made them rich.

More like detritus, stinking waste, that smelt

so much it made him sick, and start to itch,

and want to cleanse his earth on which they dwelt.

Part 2

Why would Jesus say when we pray, not to babble on, like the pagans (could it be, that we would be like children who are learning to talk, who try to learn from other babbling children who have no parents to teach them). Also, since prayer may in fact be an invoking of this most creative being, what sort of gift might our prayers be to this being? How might such a God feel about our prayers? Listen, say, to the Jewish prophets before Jesus.. Might he not be utterly bored? What other (more unrespectable emotions - for a creative person) do the prophets attribute to this God?
