Reflect On the Need To Genuflect

Why do we omit to reflect
On the need to genuflect 
To God waiting for it in His Altar
To be moved to mercifully alter
What in life makes us falter …

The Often Out-Of-Order
We wouldn’t want to go further
In the nature of a triumphing defect
With its concomitant effect; 
As bad as balls that deflect 
Or words A Grammarian didn’t inflect …

Ample reasons we have to be sad, 
When we keep losing but aren’t mad
Or keep spending hard-to-stay wad 
And telling people we once it had.
