Distress Call

The wretched world with its claws spread wide,
Iam running away from it to hide
I will never return,nor will I ever subside
with lofty ambitions and only God, being my Guide
Oh ! lovely parrots and lush green trees,
You were all with me through all my glees
I hope you'll shed a tear or miss your near
when I go to a far off land and get out of here
This is a request a humble one of eternity
A one to free me from everything and make myself pure and free
God come unto me and guide me through
In this world of liars my only hope is You
You Oh God,are the only one,
who loves me always
No matter whatever I've done,
I thank you for your kindness and all that you've given
I only pray eternally Lord, That you help me, now,
your Distressed Son
