A Prayer To Almighty
Endue us your godly light to realize
What we have forgotten who we are
We selfishly tried to seek our own security
And have exploited our own ends
We have misused our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Not to destroy the beauty of creation
And add something to that beauty.
A sense not to destroy only for avarice.
Lest we may misuse our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Never to corrupt the Earth’s music
Creating confusion of honks and noises
Thus wrecking appearance and beauty
Lest we may misuse our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Dry lands’ thirst to refresh them.
Show us the way to cleanse the rivers
Choked with debris and pollution
So that we may make good use of power.
