ask and receive

we know when something
is up.
our spider sense tingles.
we have a premonition.
intuition
suspicion.
call it the shine,
call it esp.
call it a calling,
call it what you may,
but
nothing escapes us.
no lie
goes uncovered.
divine intervention
happens
when we ask, when we
really need the truth.
we walk into the woods
and find
a tree.
the tree of lies.
just ask.
and it shall be given,
would he give a stone
in lieu of a prayer
for bread?
