A Fat Prayer for Homo Sapiens

A strange, layered prayer for humanity, faith and mortality.


In the name of the Ilah,
Creator, Cherisher, Maintainer.
Most gracious, Most merciful
Baruch Hashem! Sant Yàlla bu bari –
Even atheists believe in something,
Most gracious, Most merciful
Master of the day of our judgment.
Death comes to us all.

In this life keep us on a straight road –
A road that your תַּלְמִידָא did walk.
& shield us from the adverse things
Our eyes inevitably witness –
Zel lakh l-bestray, Satana!
For this is not your kingdom.
Ǵʰu-tó-m is Power & the Glory
Forever & Earth without end –

Amin.
