When We (were 'Christian')

prayersfor

Haiku
(when We master In
One weigh, one ray, one Blue Jay
that is what we'll pray

For a long, Long time).

Their prayers stood Forever an
-nounced to passersby

and Visitors a-
like, that no Other prayers were
as Worthy, or cor-

Rect As the exact-

ing prayer of a devote
Of their exact Brand.
