My Plea
Oh God! Alienate me from foes, dissipate me from vice,
Gravitate me to righteousness make me noble and wise.
In this malignant world with savage and inurbane minds,
Life has become hostile and peace is hard to find.
Please forgive me, for I may sound capricious sometimes,
I don't know how to flatter or praise You, in my poems.
Give me courage, I am lost like a scapegoat in wilderness,
Transitory is life, bestow me light take away the darkness.
In my perspicuous plea, all I want is sorrows to end,
Show me the right path that leads to you, for me to blend.
