ONE MORE CHANCE

If by noon, hardship squeezes me like an angry sponge

Give me the resilience to be rescued from the brunt

Please, show me unreserved kindness always

To keep me going, even after the hope has failed

When death like a pride cause me to fall

And, like an old mistakes that speed my downfall

Now that poverty had become like speed, too ready to kill

Give me a brake to stop the dangers automatically

When like a van, death is running after people

Give me a faster strength and stamina to overtake the foes

Whenever disease like police round me up

Give me universal immunity like [that of] ambassadors

And when pain like faeces, in me smelling

From you, I’ll need umbrella to from the spring of death protected
