Sonnet: Is There Not Joy?

Is there not joy in being man, woman? Is there not joy inhabiting the earth? Is there not joy in being an Indian? Is there not joy in having still our breath? Is there not joy in being born well formed? Is there not joy with senses all intact? Is there not joy with brain so well informed? Is there not joy in living for truth/ fact? Is there not joy believing in one God? Is there not joy in fighting evils? Is there not joy when Friend is but the Lord? Is there not joy resisting all devils? Is there not joy preparing for Heaven? Is there not joy to say always, `Amen’?
