I Should Have Prayed

I have roles in from the depths of pain;
Relive my life knife games;
Random promises of broken flames;
I was bitter and embarrassed:

I should have prayed;

Mother was in pain one Saturday afternoon;
So prideful filled with hurt and void;
I chose to relief and relish in my pain;
Mad at God because He took later that night;

Deep deep in my heart;
I hurt what to believe in why, how I thought to myself;

I should have prayed 
The sacrifices of this polluted world;
Spiraling down to be unfurled,  frolicking,  prolifically,  wondering coasting down the stairs ;
Whom am i to fear;
Step by step magically disappears;
When all the heathens gather together and all the saints;
All the passion all the pains seldom Glitters Humanities in pain Humanities in pain and I wish;
That I could have changed all those sins;
 I committed so humanistic footloose let loose and cursed;
I went right instead of left, left in reverse;
It didn't hurt;
Because I've learn to put Jesus first;

I should have prayed;
 Sin nature full of fun;
Later pending on your outlook on life or death;
The wars here but endangered species only ones left;
The poor riots dying innocence;
Shootings, robberies, murders this is;
And the say, what should I do what can I do..

 Well

Guess we should have prayed

Vivien Wade Date: 7/15/2017 8:44:00 PM I like the truth in this poem. To put Jesus first is the key. We are told also to pray for Kings and those in power, What a difference it would make if we prayed for our leaders to have wisdom, instead of finding fault. I liked especially the last line of the poem. blessing, Vivien Login to Reply James Edward Lee Sr. Date: 7/15/2017 9:52:00 PM Thanks for reading! God shall overcome and rule soon. Every knee will soon bow and every tongue will confess! Again thanks (Much of these verse are actual truths from my late teen years in life)
