The pray haters are at it again, demanding we cease all prayer when we need it the most. Thoughts, too. Worthless, they say. Do something, they insist. Somebody else is at fault, somebody else is to blame, somebody else must pay, the murderer is dead.
How dare we pray, how dare we think, how dare we, how dare we. No burning, no looting, no bashing windows, no signs, no fires, just a sad sunset, a sad ending to a Texas day in May. Right up the street. The politicians will stir it up, Beto will show up to point his finger. Racial scavengers will swoop in for a meal, the sickos.
But, both my middle fingers are for the pray haters, the worst of the worst. More of a fuck off than a fuck you, won't even ask them to join in, they can sit the prayers out. I've got nothing for them, no suggestions, encouragements, or well wishes. No nothing. Go.
