PRAYER OF THE OX


Dear God, give me time

Men are always so driven!
Make them understand that I can never hurry.
Give me time to eat.
Give me time to plod.
Give me time to sleep.
Give me time to think.


Taken from ‘Prayers from the Ark’ by Carmen de Gasztold. Written from the point of view of animals, her prayers / poems offer great insight about human nature.
