Did you hear a prayer?
Do you know what it is?
It is Man’s desire.
It is Man’s wish.
Did you listen keenly?
Do you know what it is?
It is Man’s requisition,
It is Man’s need.
What does man expect?
He wants all things good.
He requires all things beautiful
He loves all things great.
Why does he pray?
He does for his welfare
He does for his promotion.
He does for his prosperity.
Oh ! then it is an act.
It is a pretension.
It is self-conceit.
It is anything but love.
Hmm! yes it is that,
It is not an experience.
It is not a meditation.
It is anything but trance.
Oh ! Is it so?
It is not for community.
It is not for service.
It denotes anything but charity.
Lo! Well it is so.
Everything he wants to amass.
Everything he moves to assume.
It indicates anything but earnestness
True !! That is Man,
That is every human..
That is every mortal ,
It focuses on anything but truth.
