[Newspoetry] a poem

[Anne Bargar]

hey, can anyone think of a good title for this?



"The American way of life is a blessed one."
-Ari Fleischer

Our lifestyle, bestowed by the divine,
Hallowed be thy name.
The world's resources are bequeathed to us.
Thy will be done to Alaska and the Middle East
as it is determined in the lower 48.
Give us this day our SUV,
and forgive us our collective debt,
while we refuse to forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into conservation,
but deliver us from the voices of the concerned,
for ours is the standard of living, and the money, and the power, 
for as long as we can make it last.
Amen.
