Thoughts & prayers can go to hell—There's too much work to do to sit and wail and tuck your tail and drum up much ado 'bout how the world ain't fair so really there ain't nothin' we can do.Well, I say thoughts and prayers can go to hell, And let their makers join 'em, too.Thoughts & prayers can go to hell.God can't hear 'em anymore: He's busy piling up the dead on His immortal golden shore so He can burn 'em down to cinder-ash and clear up room for more.He lost His track of thoughts & prayers, & He ain't keeping score no more So send 'em down the devil's way;Maybe he'll have some use for 'em.
Thoughts & prayers can go to hellwhere they make a demon food: They make a gravy thick & fat to feed the devil's growin' brood. They slurp the snot from screamin' babes while howlin' daddies set the moodAnd they burp up sobbin' mamas' cries, 'cause demons are just rude.
Thoughts & prayers can go to hell,where they'll offer satisfaction. Of Jesus Christ, they said, "By God, now here's a man of action!" He had the gall to offer all a place in heaven's factionSo they strung him up, & wrung him out& made his bones the main attraction.
As if Death were satisfaction.
An equal opposite reaction...

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
