I ask only of God

I ask only of God
that I am not unmoved by suffering,
that the dry death does not find me
empty and alone, without having done what was needed.
 
I ask only of God
that I am not unmoved by injustice,
that I am not slapped on the other cheek,
after resigning myself to injury by a claw.
 
I ask only of God
that I am not unmoved by war,
it is a huge monster and tramples heavily
all the poor innocence of the people.
 
I ask only of God
that I am not unmoved by deception,
if one traitor may overcome a multitude,
that multitude will not forget it easily.
 
I only ask of God
That I am not unconcerned about the future,
hollowed out is the person who has to go
to live a dfferent culture.
 
I ask only of God
that I am not unmoved by war,
it is a huge monster and tramples heavily
all the poor innocence of the people.
