Sonnet: Man, Recheck Your Path
You search within yourself, O man, Earthling!
See what you are and what you ought to be;
Work for the penny, forget the shilling;
Look to your soul’s and body’s health rightly.
The world is crazy gone in its approach;
There is no sense or sensibility;
So, shed your vices all ’fore God’s reproach;
And work with zeal towards Eternity.
This world- a wasteland can turn paradise;
O Man, atone and turn into new leaf!
O listen to the great prophet’s advice;
And toil harder for harvest of the sheaf.
Ignore the river all turns so briny;
Ignore the Lord and hell’s your destiny!
