Sonnet: The Right Way To Live

A Chameleon on earth one soon becomes! The safest way to live and pass one’s days; And quickly then amass huge money sums, To spend one’s life in rather pleasant ways. The man who is honest suffers a lot; The poor woman is turned into harlot; From pillar to post for a gowpenful, Of food they go but can’t be deceitful. No doubt, ’tis a hostile, horrendous world! A sinful life imbues the soul so fast; ’Tis wise to live straight, dignity unsold; For earthly treasures cannot for long last. Life has much ups and downs in its journey, However, you win or lose this tourney!
