A Moment of Prayer

I tour this desolate world full of anger 
Possessed by self-destructive danger 
Obsessed with vengeance and an evil agenda
I seek a spiritual path, to the heart of a panda

For my soul to reside in paradise,
But my thoughts tell me otherwise
Likewise, my doubts leave me paralysed
My fears leave me traumatised...

My spirit will never know heaven’s glory
My prayers will never levitate higher 
Remaining unanswered, feeling rejected
Unloved in this world of hatred...

I’m a product of an evil prowess 
Of the physical, ruthless universe
I’m nothing without His power
My only hope is a moment of prayer
