ASKING GOD IN PRAYER

I've stopped asking

God for anything

for I asked him to help me

avoid the crowds

and prayed for peaceful driving

on my city's roads.

I prayed that he reduce pollution

and mankind to lead simple lives

without any confusion.

My prayers then God answered

Soon my fellow men suffered

at the hands of a deadly virus

and their wails arose              

everywhere in chorus.

Now the roads are empty

and there are no crowds anywhere

There is no pollution

nor resultant suffocation

but I'm unable to go out

and in my room I stay put.

Yes, I've stopped asking God

to answer my prayers

and now pray that his will be done

always and forever...
