Sonnet: A Bard’s New Venture

God, let me knock the doors that remain locked! Open their windows and let sunshine in; Soothen the souls that are quake and shell-shocked; Empty the misdeeds, vices off soul’s bin. God, let me make them see Light that is true; And let me show them way that is aright; Help them to turn their hearts and minds anew; Let me help them their temptations to fight. God, let me show the greatness of thine love; That earthly things and human ways shall pass; That human passions are things just for now; That men are not like sheep who ingest grass! God, let me bring more souls to heaven, then; By freeing those struggling from devil’s curse!
