Why not me

Why not me Is a new poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Why not me

Praying for my father

Every night before I go

To bed

I must confess that

I never feel like praying to you

My father

Maybe I must force myself

To pray to you

Every single day

Because you had already

Punished me for that

And I know that you can’t

Trust me at all

And you tell me that is very sad

I understand that it makes you sad

When I just don’t pray for you

Yes father I should be grateful for

Living here on earth

All those years

That you made me

And placed me here on earth

To live
