prayer warriors in Lamka

Prayer is the only weapon they have

So lots of people are praying

In prayer they bring out what they desire

They pray to God to answer their prayers

Along the line they petition Him for.

I asked prayer-warriors the prayer items

Missions, salvation and revival i was told

I asked some other young women the same

Provision of protection under '6th schedule'

They prayed against all means that blocks.

Against all form of corrupt practices

Against all who promote such practices

Against all corrupt politicians and officers

Also against who still indulge in corruption

These christian youth from all walks of life

The way they frame their words do differ

That made even praying together difficult

But you can discern a common thread

A deep thirst and hunger for righteousness

A new order that's just and right is gained.
