A Prayer of the Afflicted

Hear my prayer dear lord For life's too expensive That i can't afford I created prosperity But i did not have any I showed them love But they hated me cruelly I loved freedom But i was not free I had eyes But i couldn't see Remember my oppression Remember my affliction Control my heart And help me tread a good path Remember me oh God Be my guide Don't put me to shame But make me a good fame And a great name So that at the end My life will be a legend
