While millions go without a square meal a day
I cannot pray for more food for myself
While thousands of children die of starvation
I cannot pray for my daily food
While many suffer without human dignity
I cannot pray for God’s gift
Below
on earth when people struggle for their existence
Like a
worm that struggles when bitten by antsLooking up to heaven I cannot pray that I be elevated
Like a palm tree that grows heavenward
Faithless
women and men pray for more blessings
Instead
of saying enough is my greedinessAnd sharing even the last grain with seven others
