I Pray

Vehemently, I pray
God make me a way
So my leg will  walk to that place 
Where I can save my poor face 
From a heart-wrenching ridicule 
And from their mouth, unending spittle 

Wash my head, if it'd been cussed 
Forgive my transgression, if that be the cause
I desire fortune to live my life
Oh Lord I plead, end my strive 
Bless my unfortunate soul,
And make penury my foe

I pray!
