Earth's Porch, Beyond Its Fallen State
Sonnet number III of XII
Bright the hopes of dawn's new reprieves
blessing some days with so much more,
World rebels, with its lies deceives
all of man's weaknesses explore.
Not enough, earn ones daily bread
world adds, vile insatiable greed
Darkest paths it promotes instead
selling such false steps as great needs.
Warmth, flickering flames oft inspires
gluttony of flesh and dark acts
Wanting much more, greed never tires
black-trails made into virgin tracts.
Earth's porch, looking into abyss
Humanity begs more of this.
