Analysis of Question Marks Of Coming Years



Now my coming years have
The question marks
I do not bother with that
However, it is hard to explain
Even I do not want
To know that
I believe wonders
That can happen
By the grace and mercy of God
To protect, forgive
And cure of all diseases
God is the healing light
To eliminate black powers
The evil eye
And such ones
Who may cause harm
And death of one
I pray and try
To avail my time and life
For love, health, and pleasure
Of others, who deserve that
I am thankful to God
That my hands are clean
I did not sell my thoughts
And humanity
I stay in, for all the humans
Without distinctions
Each one breathes
Each one has a right to breathe
In the open air
Under the sun
Free and equal.
