Are we to pray as your Son and our Fathers did before? <br />How can we not go astray when our matriarchs are deaf, <br />And blind and dumb or dead? <br />How can we be refined when pattern is made of incorporated <br />style and angled mischief? <br /> <br />When beauty is born of obscurities. <br />When our changing nature and changing ways <br />in your ever-changing world, have shaped our being. <br />When success and sacrifice, <br />though rare and highly covetted; <br />are but the brink of danger and destruction. <br /> <br />Shall we be as per origional design <br />or is innovation, even in praise; needed <br />to sustain your strength and presence upon us? <br /> <br />You did not make us perfect, <br />is it then safe to say that you <br />only want us to try? <br /> <br />Did you make us more than man, <br />or it your deliberate plan <br />for us to work towards being so?<br /><br />Nkululeko Mdudu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-to-pray-2/
