understanding 

Now I lay me down to rest
Look, I don’t want to be a pest
But if you’re up there listening
Why aren’t you doing anything?

So many supplicate, beseech,
And beg with every form of speech
That loved one’s lives might please be spared,
That they might feel you really cared

That you would smite their enemies
Or at least help bring them to their knees
That you’d be on their side in war
So they could have their share and more

That you would send their foes to hell
While making sure that they are well
That you might help their sports team win,
Or destroy the world and start again.

Okay, I get it.
