Sonnet Xxii Good People

People are Good
Their Creator made them so.

Yes, they do go wrong
And even when they mean well,
They constitute Misery to others
Some other times, they release themselves
To be used by the messenger of misery.

We do Bad things
I mean, very Bad things.
Not that we are Bad,
But many times, our choices are Bad
And sometimes our Good turns Bad,
Leaves us helpless and Misunderstood
But, we are Good People.

Experience, by virtue of the society, has paraded a faulty concept of humanity. And it has sustained a sufficient proof of the fact that humans are wicked and evil. But, I differ in opinion, I choose to say as I believe that we humans are good and very good. I choose to appreciate the beauty and nature of humanity and its God-Creator. I choose to separate man from his actions, inactions and decisions. Though we must not be irresponsible, I choose not to see with a corrupted lens.
