A Man Must Pray Poem by Pat Ashinze

A MAN MUST PRAY..

The meat in the pot may be much
And life may be so kind, it gives in
All her goodness to be in one's clutch;
Yea, The milk may overflow its basin
Yet still, A man must pray..

The wind of failure may storm out irate
Shaking violently the foundations
Of one's conscience and faith
Ushering in doubt and compunction
As it is, a man must pray...

The stock may be barren, and the field
Arid with prickly thorns and sand;
The farm may be fruitful with yield
And the rearing may overfill the land
All in all... A man must pray
