The Power and Hour of Death

By J. Randal Matheny

Who are we to pray for another’s death,

When God it is who gives us life and breath?

Worse still when such a prayer’s upon the tongue

Of clergy, claiming religion’s higher rung,

Inciting his flock to follow his harsh command.

The power and hour of death is in God’s hand.
