Oh God, you who are almighty, please grant me a wish
Please God, wipe away from the face of the earth
all those egotistical, self-obsessed politicians who do just about anything to stay in power.
Please God, take away from us all those persons who do not have compassion, who have no empathy and heart, who use other people for personal gain or pleasure, who suppress, manipulate, abuse, terrorize, brutalize, torture and kill others for whatever reason.
Please God, remove from the face of the earth those who are corrupt and use their position to suppress others, who bully and terrorize others, who extort and exploit and suck out everything possible for helpless victims.
Please dear God, take away from us the liars, the cheaters, the wife-beaters, the manipulators and snake-oil-salesmen, the serial seducers and rapists, the abusers, misusers and brutes, the insensitive and heartless, the careless and the brutalists, the torturers and the sadists and the killers, the merciless and the cruel.
Please God, wipe away from this earth the military machinery, the whole military-industrial-complex. Take all the weaponry, all the nuclear warheads and rockets and fighter planes and cannons, all those M-16 machine guns and all the other deadly things that shoot, all the nerve gas and biologic and cyber weapons, take away the whole chain of command, war rooms, generals and obedient soldiers who are ready follow any cruel command without a thought.
And please God, since you are at it, can you also take away all the borders that separate us, all the passports and visas, all the nationalism and that isolates us from each other as a people, all the many many languages that makes it impossible to understand each other and be one human voice.
Please God, take from us the money machine, the stock markets and the big banks, the obscene bonuses and salaries of CEOs, the sport bets and horse race bets and all other schemes to make money from nothing.
Maybe my dear God you could even take away the money game altogether, so we may just share our skills and expertise for free. This would be so cool : )
My God, could you maybe make another beautiful Earth and transfer lets say 3.5 billion people over there, so we have enough place here and enough place there and will not die from overpopulation.
God, i have just a few more little things to ask you now.
Please reset the nature kingdoms to the state of 1750, to the state before the Industrial Revolution.
Please restore the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon Jungle and the Ice Sheets of the Antarctic and the Glaciers of Greenland and re-instate all the beautiful species of fauna and flora that have gone extinct since then, all the animals that have been killed for consumption and financial gain.
Dear God, if you could also increase and upgrade the consciousness of the Earth’s population by quite a bit so we are not any more have to stumble around like sleepwalkers, that we not any more have only trial-and-error to understand how life works, that we are not cut off from hearing the still small voice of the soul in our heart, that we are not blind anymore!
My dearest God, i realize all that is a lot to ask from you.
But you are almighty, i know you can do it.
And it would really mean a lot to a lot of us humans here.
Thank you God for listening & i hope to hear from you soon.
Amen

ps: Well, obviously i do not really believe in the Almighty Father-god up there with the beard who can be petitioned with all kinds of requests and who then proves his might and delivers what has been asked.
But … sometimes it is nice and healthy to voice your wishes, sometime it is necessary to let the burdened heart talk & lighten its load.
You pray too, sometimes these days?
