A Prayer (Oct 1963) (written by me, an unsaved 17 year old - I think things were a bit bleek without Jesus)

Save the infants of the world as it is today,
Their innocent minds comprehending not
The horrible future of mankind’s ways –
Save the youth, the child, the unaware tot.

Save all that know not their world’s fate
And those who turn their backs on hate.
Save the truthful, the honest,the pure and kind,
Spare the new of spirit and the clean of mind.

Let all the rest forever burn
On this ungodly earth of ours,
Burn, when fate decides to turn
And loose all her hellish powers.

Put those spared in a world anew.
Unmarked by war and clean in hue.
Test them and see if they could stand,
Or would they too fall …. To the Destiny of Man?
