Perfect Wish

I prayed God,
“Give me wealth”.
He gave me in abundance
But there are thieves
And I am scared.

I prayed God,
“Give me power”.
He made me king
Protecting subjects
Burdened me.

I prayed God,
“Give me strength”
He gave me sword
That brought me enemies
Peace ever evaded.

I know not ‘perfect wish’

I prayed God,
“Give me knowledge”
He blessed me,
“My name is thy knowledge
Let thyself be subdued in Myself”.
