transparent and straightforward,
Good morning, good God!
In this world of ours, Lord, a world of
alternative facts
and artificial intelligence,
of virtual sex, identity fraud
and false narratives,
of synthetic reality
and sham investigations,
of bogus claims, scams
and deception,
of hypocrisy, pretense,
and duplicity,
of plagiarism, piracy
and cover-ups…
In such a world, Lord,
I offer you my thanks and praise
for all that’s real and true,
honest, right and accurate,
heartfelt and sincere,
human, simple, just and clear…
And I thank you, Lord,
for everyone and everything
faithful to your wisdom
to your word and to your will
that I do what’s right and just
and walk humbly by your side….
Help me hunger for your truth, Lord,
and for the grace I need to live it,
to speak it and to share it
with all whose paths cross mine…
