POETRY Lisboa

Let us pray
Our father whose arts in heaven
Hollow be thy name
Unless things change
Thy wigdom come and gone
they will, will be undone
On earth, as it isn't heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
At least three times a day
And forgive us our trespasses
On love's territory
For thine is the wigdom
and power and glory
Oh, Man!
