Prayer of the Downtrodded

That you the ruler of heaven and earth
Take away my pain and heal my broken heart
Knowing full well that you are all-powerful
This yoke shall be removed and my head will rest
On the grass' meadow like a beloved dear,
You have done it time and time again
And you are constant as the unending universe.
