Poor Man Prayer

‘I leave am for God’ Is the poor man's prayer When he submits to higher realms Transferring judgement to higher forces The answer to that prayer is often terrifying When you take another for granted Trampling on another because you are advantaged Usurping communal wealth because you are in charge Bleeding the flock you are supposed to pastor It is the poor man that bears the brunt Don't fall a victim
