Sonnet: God Made Everything For Good

And only when the current’s gone, we know How useful light is to shun darkness off; Yet, only when a ‘bandh’ we undergo, We love silence and noise we seem to scoff. And only when the leader is no more, The party feels the void too much to fill; Yet, only when we stand on the sea-shore, We know that city-life made us too ill. And only when we taste defeat in life, We know what success means to everyone; Yet, only when we suffer increased strife, We know that God is greater than the Sun. Each state God made with purpose only good; Let’s accept things as they come, if we could. 8-21-2002
