1. FORGIVE ME O! LORD
Forgive me for inadvertently trampling over scores of tiny ants; crawling unnoticed
on the cold floor,
Forgive me for spitting foamy saliva indiscreetly on the streets; on formation of
excess liquid in the palette of my mouth,
Forgive me for banging my fists in tandem against the wall; clenching my teeth in raw
indignation on being intimidated,
Forgive me for driving at lightening speeds through the solitary streets; bouncing in
the drivers seat while listening to pulsating music,
Forgive me for indiscriminately pouncing on the petulant mosquito; buzzing
incessantly in the vicinity of my eardrum,
Forgive me for not listening to my mother; when she stringently admonished to get
up at the crack of evanescent dawn,
Forgive me for being insatiably greedy; when it came to extracting wealth from this
uncouth world,
Forgive me for indulging in licentious thoughts; possessing feeble control over the
unprecedented realms of my mind,
Forgive me for sipping opulent wine; drowning myself wholesomely into domains of
tantalizing fantasy,
Forgive me for skipping my morning prayers; in the bustle to reach office and
commence work at fast pace,
Forgive me for snoring like a demon all night; permeating the still air with an
indefatigable volley of cacophonic sounds,
Forgive me for attending bombastic parties; blending profusely with a conglomerate
of people with spurious smiles,
Forgive me for swaying rampantly on the streets; inhabiting the discotheques till
wee hours of night,
Forgive me for overhearing candid conversations; in my unrelenting curiosity to
envisage activities behind close doors,
2. Forgive me for leaving squalid footprints as I walked; caressing the immaculately
polished floor with dirt lining the periphery of my toes,
Forgive me for plucking resplendent flowers from their stalks; dismantling the moist
earth by digging voraciously with my hands,
Forgive me for being overwhelmingly stubborn; standing steadfast with my baseless
opinions; refraining to listen to others,
Forgive me for using abashing expletives; rebuking innocuous individuals in
proximity; for no apparent fault of theirs,
Forgive me for ridiculing eminent personalities; making a travesty of the remarkable
deeds they executed in their lives,
Forgive me for loitering aimlessly in space; becoming oblivious to the essence of life
for some part of the day,
Over and above all forgive me O! lord for the plethora of misdeeds I have committed
in my life as a human being; instead bless me with loads of fortitude to propagate
double the happiness of all what I have destroyed.
