Sonnet: Man Must Be Wise

Man thinks he is cleverer than his God! Good deeds he does and commits too grave sins; Presuming time will be offered by lord, And the devils’ fight he can finally win. Our God is so kind but He is Master; He knows our heart’s depths and every small thought; Much more than any man, God thinks faster; Man can’t cheat God and to know this, he ought. Our lifetime though long, yet appears so short; Already some men live on borrowed time; Till old age sets, his sins, man cannot cart Man should repent fast to make life sublime. Who knows purgatory still awaits some men; ’Tis wise to suffer here; go to Heaven.
