AN EVENING PRAYER AS SEPTEMBER GOES

Blue is gray

when the fireball sinks

down the horizon of my world.

My beloved

Waits for me far away

Just like I wait for her here.

Clouds gather

Lightning flashes bolts

And I can only pray to God.

I am sad

for all my loved ones

who bank on all that I earn.

What can I

do to make them see

That destiny's plan

Is averting all my programmes.

I am keen

To seek my share of wealth

But only God can help me now.

Almighty

look upon me kindly

Only You know the best for me.
