Sonnet: One Can’t Be Both

A fruit is rotten, partially/ in full; A dress looks ugly, if there are some holes; A person can’t be bright as well as dull; One can’t remain at same instant, in poles! A face looks awful with freckles or dots; A cradle-baby shouldn’t be found in bins! A heart isn’t pure, if it has sinful thoughts; A soul can’t be in heaven with some sins. Good man with vices isn’t called ‘good’ at all; Bad man with virtues is a ‘bad’ one still; Most Holy God sees sin as massive ‘wall’; One can’t go to heaven as well as hell! God’s Kingdom is impeccably all pure; Sin’s cancer when advanced, defies a cure! Copyright by Dr John Celes 4-20-2008
