This one got me thrown out of the Sacred Scriptures course:

The Self’s Prayer

“Prayers to yourself are always answered.”
R.W. Emerson

My Self, who dwells on planet earth,
is Everyman, my name from birth.
My realm is melting from the sun,
for I am causing my destruction,
denying Truth and being evil
in words and deeds, sacred and civil.
I say this prayer for the dead,
denying gravity’s reversed
to raise me from an earthly grave.
I pray, till then, that I’ll be brave,
suffer but endure my plight,
until my final breath takes flight
and I’m delivered from this fiction,
gratefully welcoming eviction!
