A Poem upon receiving an "F"


I prayed to God that I would receive an “A.”
I prayed to God my ranking would stay.
I prayed to God to get me through this.
I prayed to God, for me, He would not dismiss.

When our sins are removed, so is our knowledge.
At this rate, I will not make it to college.
I am dubious about my future now.
I do not want to be an indolent cow.

He moves in mysterious ways, this must be a sign.
I should not major in English or history, according to the Divine.
His now lucid message is beneficent to me.
My future is candid for all to see.

<p>Ahaha, Yes, I like this a lot. I love the line, "When our sins are removed, so is our knowledge"</p>
