They Claim To Pray And Wish For Peace Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They do not wish their lives politicalized.
However...
They do wish their interests protected,
By those they have elected...
To present and represent them,
Religiously.

They do not want to mix their religious beliefs,
With policies that are political.
And yet they advocate their leaders show strength.
With a doing done to prove they are not weak.
And they claim to pray and wish for peace...
But brag about the weapons they keep to use.
