A Loss of Insight

In the world, many a fool's theory
Listening to them, I look weary
Replying them, I feel dreary
With silence, I make merry

Their eyes they close at dawn and doubt 
In the morning, they are out and doubt
We doubt HIS existence! They shout
Sadly, little do they know about

For each day we see HIS wisdom and might
Their brains? Sadly fastened with 'a bight'
Thinking right? Apparently a lost insight
Retrieving? Out! They tell the light

Like  dogs their gods bark but not can bite
Like a rooster they fly but not a kite
See the stars and the moonlight
See the rays of the sunlight

The sweet songs of the canary we enjoy
In our daily lives, the water we employ
For our breath,  the air we deploy
Let the wise shout for joy

Sanket Jain Date: 9/3/2019 8:51:00 AM Indeed a nice poem. I kept away from poetrysoup for some time due to some reason. Now I am free and You have written a very good poem. The rhyming words do match nicely. Last stanza is also very good. Idea of shouting for joy is unique.
