Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
Remove falsehoods and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches-
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, "Who is the Lord?"
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

but god has gifted many a poverty!
and he has not feeded food allotted to them;
the poor steal and end up in jail!
so tell me...who is this lord you speak of?
Sigh...
Of course, it's you again. You don't understand, but know that you are one of my inspirations to keep writing about my Christian faith. Thank you
