O GOD! MAY MY PRAYER BE KINDLY HEEDED TO.....
O God! Let me never learn by heart the art of pretext or pretension,
Let me never live on the fulsome food of falsehood or fabrication,
Let me never deal with the dastardly curriculum of depravity or discrimination,
Let me never dip in a calumnious confluence of diplomacy, duplicacy or degradation!
O God! Let me never dog the deplorable steps of treacherous Mir Jafar,
Let me never lurk in the dubious dark for a credulous bait or an undeserving offer,
Let me never toil to vanquish Dario Cecchini in blasphemous butchery,
Let me never strive to surpass the salacious and ill famous Byron in debauchery!
O God! Let me never fancy to overshadow the abominable Adolf in ruthlessness,
Let me never garb myself with Asha Ram, or Ram Rahim or Sarathi Baba's dirty dresses,
Let me never chase mirage-like money to satiate the thirst of a gullible deer,
Let me never embark on a Vasco da Gaman
voyage to meet You as You are most near!
O God! May my prayer be kindly heeded to with a Mother 's Heart, full of love, pity and care,
Else I'll surely perish like a barb-shot swan, or like a fish "Out of the frying pan into the fire!"
