Michaelmas - 2011 - Protect Us From Wall Street

Good Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Wall Street Casino.

May God rebuke them, we humbly pray,

and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly hosts,

by the power of the Almighty,

thrust into hell all bankers,

and all coke head derivatives traders,

who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of innocent lives and souls. Amen.

A Prayer, Desiderata, Max Ehrmann
