Prayer at a soldier’s grave




Lord,
You created this young man to do Your will
wherever righteous  politicians may send him;
to loose his bullets into other young men
sent by other politicians, who, seeing the thing
otherwise, also uphold what is right.

His intelligence and strength used to cull those
most like himself, serving country.
I pray that this transubstantiation of body to stone slab
pleases You  as it has pleased those who sent him,
who have much to gain from his sacrifice.
