Grandma's Prayer/Lord Reply (Free verse) by jroday

LORD! Why did you create someone who receives the hated stare? Why do people think I'm useless? Why do people think I should be Abused? No good is what Iam "Labeled" When others want to keep me away... My own family mistreat me, and you know this just aint right... LORD! don't you think it's time to make a change? Why dont you redo creation and make everyone the same? LORD'S REPLY Blessed are ye, When men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil aginst you falsy, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs the kingdom of heaven. Iam the shepherd always watches over thee. So get off your knees! Look in the mirror and tell me what you see? I MADE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF ME!

I didn't say he misquoted. I said the source he quoted altered the original version to provisionally accomodate those who would have been put off by "blessed are the poor"
