Prayer

If you must pray
Pray with your heart
Veil secret say
Words need not start


Each man must stay
On custom tribe
To find the way
Beyond odd bribe


Church or temple
Synagogue space
Please no devil
Embrace true grace


Mosque or wall
Tower of truth
Worship your call
As act funds proof


Work fond ritual
Prayer now works
Joy seeds crystal
As time now jerks


Pray and do more
As your soul knows
From a deep core
A vivid show


Pray as love frees
True peace of mind
To simply be
One as mankind


Be good to all 
That journey here
For each man calls
To live fond cheer


Start with your heart
To know your soul
Make love the art
That keeps you whole
