Christuraj Alex Poet Sonnet

Repent Or Perish

In his fig tree, a man could find no fruits.
Cut it down! To the gardener, he said
I'll, the gardener said, tend its deep roots.
If it fails to yield, I'll see it’s soon dead.

Pilot killed the pilgrims of Galilee.
They amalgamated with oblations.
From Siloam Tower's fall, who could flee?
Should humans set aside moral foundations?

Fruit sense should be the essence of a tree.
Shouldn't rulers and natives have sin-sense?
If from flaws and sins humans are not free
Won't divine wrath on beings be intense?

You, though a sinner, are given a chance.
Repentance or perish. It's is your stance

Valsa George February 8, 2025 at 8:48 AM Man is prone to err. But through repentance, he will be absolved of his sins. God gives everyone a chance for reparation like the tree that didn't yield fruit, but will be given another chance. Still if it fails, surely it will be cut down. In the same way, the man who doesn't repent is destined to perish. Great thoughts, dear Chris.
