Analysis of Anywhere
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If there were no churches.
Where could people go to pray.
Okay.
Then why do many,
Seem to have no time to do it?
'Uhmmm...
Well,
Perhaps they make excuses...
If there are no churches,
Around them to find.
What's the point in praying?
And for what would be the reason.
Or purpose?
If no one else sees them doing it!
