A Prayer Of The Afflicted Poem by Matt Starking

A Prayer Of The Afflicted

Rating: 1.0


Hear my prayer oh lord
For life's too expensive
That I can't afford
I created prosperity
But I did not have any
I showed them love
But they hated me cruelly
I loved freedom
But I was not free
I had eyes
But I couldn't see
Remember my oppression
Remember my affliction
Control my heart
And help me tread a good path
Remember me oh God
Be my guide
Don't put me to shame
But make me a good name
And a great fame
So that at the end
My life will be a legend

Images of affliction are well drawn. It's a dark but comely poem. It's a great one

Honorable Poet, This is a really great poem. It is always a good thing to pray for ourselves and our shortcomings. It is the only way that we will get better. Much appreciated.
