STANDING FOR ALL (A PRAYER)

I

I live to sin

A not so proud of trademark

As much as possible, please prompt me

Lightning my path for me to  clearly see

II

There are the needs

And there are the wants

Please help my needs

And be graceful with my wants

III

There are the lovers

There are the loathers

There are the carers

And there are those who’ll pay for my extinction

IV

Bless my lovers and carers

Change my loathers or haters and bless them

Occupy their thoughts with fruitful activities

So they’ll forget about their hatred for me

V

I step on toes

Many step on my toes

Please help me see good toes

And heal bad toes even if mine is part

V

If there is a thing

That I covet

Help me remember the world in the coffin

And know those things mean nothing there

VI

With every compounding problem

Please be my master

Let my thoughts be your computer memory

And delete every information which weighs me down

VII

Fill me with laughter

Fill me with joy

And as I stand for all

Hear the prayer of the human race
