In the peace of the stars
I walk
On safe streets and porches
While Lululemon shorts and shirt
Adorn me like
Safe streets on peaceful stars
Father in heaven,
Hallowed be any name that
Calls upon the name of
Oh American god
Who blesses those
Who walk safe streets
On auburn autumn nights
Adorned in the glory of
Bodies burn across the world from
Video game bombs dropped
By Lululemon shorted boys
Walking along peaceful stars
Into all that we have ever
Been promised
“There is no compromise for
Safe streets and porches”
Father in heaven
Hollow be thy name
The kingdom is here
In the burning bodies of
Boys and girls
Of those cast out of the kingdom
With weeping and gnashing and longing
I keep refreshing my feed
To see
If that camel ever
Goes through the eye
Of that needle
But then check my likes
And buy the Lululemon shorts
And worship the priests and priestesses
Of the kingdom of stars
Father in heaven
Give us this day
Everything
There is no temptation on
Safe streets and porches
On Autumn stars
With video game warriors
There is no other god but
The godless noise
Of notification dings
And stocks rising and falling like stars
Burning down distant streets
Father in heaven
Thine is the kingdom
Mine is the kingdom
Kingdom of camels
Circling about needles
Looking for a way through
