Find Way, No Pray



(All 5 words and all 4 words)

              Find Way, No Pray

         Patients pray, ‘Keep me fit’
      Doctors pray, ‘Send me invalid’.
          Here great is the God,
          Who has the best mode
          To Weigh our Greed,
          To balance our Need.
          Many fall critically ill,
           Some find to heal.
 
          His trees yield all fruits-
          All pray, “Give the goods”
          Here great is the God
         Who has the best mode
             To produce a rich,
             To produce a bitch.
        Many achieve high perch,
        Many suffer from dearth.

        Live on Earth, the best,
        Leave womb, though safest.  
        Here great is the God
         Who has the best mode
              To create for duty,
              Rich, ugly or beauty.
              Hazard is your deal,
              Learn ways to seal.
 
              Great is also a thief
              The holy one to brief.
              Here great is the God
              Who has the best mode
                  To yield a deer,
                  And so a tiger.
             Pounce upon your needs,
             As prayer nothing breeds.
