Do Not Waste Your Prayers Poem by Francis Duggan

Do not waste your prayers on such as I save your own soul from hell
And leave me in peace will you please to pen this doggerel
To some I am a pagan and to some an infidel
Yet by passing judgement on me to Satan their souls they sell.

If by the tiniest of chances there is a life beyond the Earthly grave
Then save your own soul mister since mine you cannot save
Were I around when the great one was crucified on Calvary
I would have advised him not to waste his life dying for humanity.

Millions of people hungry in the other World out there
They do need food and lots of it they won't be saved by prayer
No prayer to them is worthless since by prayers they won't be kept alive
On food aid from wealthy Nations they can only hope to survive.

Do not waste your prayers on such as I for your own soul you pray
And live in hope is all you can do of this promised judgement day
For the sins I have committed I am prepared to pay
For we all must face our karma that's life as one might say.
