199 Prudence

199.

Prudence



Oh God, I'm always full of malice

Thinking that everyone's ready to chastise

Without considering truth & justice



For I have sinned to the fullest

And failed all kinds of test

No one shall give me rest



That is why I need to be watchful

Because everyone can be vengeful

To the one who has been sinful



Oh God, away me from pestilence

And deliberate abhorrence

Give me care, give me prudence.
