A short prayer...

What else do you posses
that you may surrender?
But not to me
I already have my unshaken faith
which you gave me freely
though at times I wonder
at her ingenuity
Only to those who have much less
just enough
to preserve their decision
when you offer them breadcrumbs
(from the table of those
to whom with an amazing delight
you keep offering new gifts)
just to hear their words of
gratitude
And to those who have nothing
not even the breadcrumbs from
somebody's table
and I'm sorry to say
that they don't need you
were you a superstar or a superman
but I cannot remember
if you have ever been one
though it is the truth
that they tried to recreate you
but it ended on the cross
Then what else do you possess
that you could still surrender?
besides that cross
which you're always offering
with a pleasure
as if you didn't know
that it is very difficult
to carry it all the time
and in no way you want to agree
to exchange it
for another one
which could easily be
thrown into a knapsack
