My Christmas Prayer

Christmas is coming once again

But why? Why the world is still crying?

Of injustice and sickness, people are still dying

Why not abhor violence? Just spread love and forgiveness

 

Why can’t everyone be friends?

Why do we keep on fighting over nonsense?

Why not unite for peace?

For this world to be a better place

 

Long before the day of my birth,

This has been a barren earth

Still, we remain with our breaths

History will keep on repeating itself until we learn to comprehend

 

It’s Christmas once again

I hope this prayer will be heard

O, Lord! Heal the scars that keep on bleeding

Heal the world amidst of all the pains.

Author's Note

Our professor in Philippine Literature made us write a poem called "My Christmas Prayer" / "Ang Dasal Ko Ngayong Pasko" on our examination... Merry Christmas. :)

Fine poem, we all agree with this. Needs ( maybe ) some work on the rhyme scheme and line length, but all in all very well written

[Aprille]

Thank you. :)

I like this a lot! It asks some good questions. Reminds me somewhat of Reba McEntire's new song "Pray For Peace" featuring Ronnie Dunn and Kelly Clarkson. Thanks for sharing this one!
