In your marvel, the heavens orbit <br />The years are long <br />But how cautious are you! <br />You that attach the soul to life <br />Love is yours, eternity is yours! <br /> <br />Annihilation! To those that know you not <br />O people! O spirit of eternity <br />Power is yours, eternity is yours! <br /> <br />The night is your solution <br />As the morning unravels <br />And the thirsty sea is weary <br />The arrow strayed <br />Shot the thirsty <br />You're the decent, but we inquire <br /> <br />Judas betrayed, but how many Judases sold Christ? <br />Judas could not last forever <br />And you cannot wound a wounded country <br />A million Judases betrayed the promise and were defeated <br />You are all that remains <br />In the fields <br />And your sickle <br />Brushed the wheat from above Christ's blood <br />And you are the wounded <br />The doctors come to ask <br />How grand! <br />Who fathered you?! <br />Who bore you?! <br />How noble! <br />O people, you are the heartbeat of existence. <br />Eternity is yours <br />Sovereignty is yours <br />Power is yours <br />Power is yours<br /><br />Ahmed Fouad Negm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hummingbird-s-prayer/
