Prayer

Prayer
Let prays 
Always like the 
preacher man say

Pray always is 
What I was thought
From my youth
In the temple

Here I wonder
What kind of prayer
This men pray

A doctor
What will be the prayer
Of a doctor if it hospital 
Is empty and he runs out of
Money?

A lawyer 
What is a prayer of a
Lawyer when he got no 
Case to defend and runs out 
Of money to ford his bills?

A car mechanic
What will be the prayer of a car 
Mechanic when his work shop is 
Empty with no customer?

A prostitute
What kind of prayer do a prostitute
Say when the men are no longer 
Coming?

A criminal 
Who kind of prayer does a criminal
Say when he got no one to cheat and even when he got a lot already cheated on?

A politician
I wonder if he pray for 
Any one apart from himself 
Yet he prays

A robber 
I wonder what will be his 
Prayer every morning 
He woke up from bed

On and on
Oh prayer is good 
they say

Yet the man that pray so much
Is either not the best 

For so many call on god
Yet don't know god

While Few never does or rather 
Pray so much but fear god

For every mind prays
With an intention
As focus is only but
Prayer
