Procrastination


Proverbs 28:9 

The one who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer is an abomination.

 

Maybe tomorrow

 

An easy way of life called: Procrastination

It always catches up in the middle of the day

An amazing riddle to cloud our vision

and shed responsibility in most every way

 

A simple way to a dream called: Hesitation

Will I pray right now or later in the day?

I won’t do any harm if I bypass this decision

as long as I meditate somewhere in my own way

 

Where is effectiveness in changed preordination?

So what if I move prayer to where there’s no price to pay?

As long I have somewhere peace in contemplation

and so to squeeze into a form that's called: Urgency to pray?
