I'm Dead What Need Of Prayers Poem by Terence George Craddock

I'm Dead What Need Of Prayers

Rating: 5.0


will it matter
when I'm dead
if no one prays for me

if God sees all
knows all
then he must

see to heart of me

a stranger standing
by a grave
no outcome

could he change

words were said
life deeds done
prayer outcome

does not change

so keep your Mass
say no Kaddish
to God

you need not pray

in book of sin
thoughts deeds
fill every page

what will you pray

what if 99.9%
of life was sin
convicted on thoughts

not deeds

as salvation stands
I find no man
perfect

with no blemish deeds
