Poem

A day of prayer and fasting 
To show the Lord our love is everlasting
We promise to sacrifice a luxury or a pleasure during Lent 
It is forty days well spent 
We will not partake in what we sacrifice until Eastertide 
Hold on, we are in for a ride 
From burning palm branches from the previous Palm Sunday
We repent and pray 
With a cross on our forehead 
As the Bible has aforesaid 
Used as an external sign of repentance 
And our hope for heaven admittance 
Now comes the true test 
Are you ready for the rest?
This is not a time to sacrifice something easy
For that would be meaningless and sleazy 
Lent is meant to show God we repent our sins
For this is where forgiveness begins 
If you are a smoker, give up smoking
Be thought provoking 
If your pleasure is alcohol
Make sure you get a round before last call
Fasting is commonplace on various days of Lent
And should not be bent
For it symbolizes Jesus’ fasting in the wild before spreading His gospel 
This includes many religions but one is not Pentecostal 
Roman Catholics also abstain from meat
Vegetarians will surely not cheat
Do not get ashes from an urn
Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return
