Sonnet: Man Is Foolish?

How foolish truly man can sometimes be! Trying to search for life in stellar Space; When things are there on earth in aplenty; Man's quest for wealth elsewhere is in fast pace. Believing machines that he has devised; Relying on Science, much more than on, God; Doing things destructive, uncivilised; Man cares for earthly acclaim and award. 0 how he wastes his energy and time! And how he wastes hard-earned wealth in research! He forgets that his soul must be sublime; Spiritual life and God are left in lurch. This is how man has been foolish for long; And sings by heart a discontented song.
