“Thoughts & Prayers” (a poem)

“‘Coincidence’ is not an appropriate word
to describe the workings of an omniscient God.”
-Neal A. Maxwell
…
With prayer, we cannot quantify
Exact amount of ROI
And still, the heavens hear us cry
(There’s ample proof to testify)
…
Some say it’s just mythology
A fake epistemology
Some figment of psychology
And yet, from all that I have seen
…
My “thoughts and prayers” that some dismiss
(A silly, unimportant wish)
Do so much to improve, uplift
A world that’s dangerously adrift
…
No believer worth their weight
Says “choose one! Either God or fate”
The evil actions men may take
Don’t prove that the divine is fake
…
Can’t understand it perfectly
But one thing that is sure to me
So much of all the good we see’s
Directly linked to deity
