Poet Introduction
I write because if I didn't I would commit suicide; if I died Heaven and Hell would be at a violent war about who should take my soul. If this war happens, humanity's misery increases a thousand fold. So I must write.

I Said a Prayer
I said a prayer
For my mother to heal from cancer;
On bended knees the heavens I implored,
Her dear life to be forgiven and restored,
Her suffering to be taken utterly away;
But she continued to waste and to wither
Till in the gloomy ground to rest she lay.
I said a prayer
For my brother to become as clever as a lawyer;
With teary eyes the heavens I beseeched,
His steps to guide, his heart to be enriched;
But studies he quit and drugs he embraced,
And in alcohol a friend forever he found
Till in the coffin I tucked him death-draped....

But she continued to waste and to wither
Till in the gloomy ground to rest she lay.

His steps to guide, his heart to be enriched;
But studies he quit and drugs he embraced,
