Sonnet- The World Behaves Differently

The world around me looks topsy-turvy; Men have forgotten God, honesty, love; The worldly-wise are lazy and envy; The righteous souls who live God-willed from above. The world won't encourage the artists new; Nevertheless, they place hurdles and blocks; The honest souls these days are found but few; Loathes the boat at sea, the ship in docks! The need for wealth goads people to the brink, Of risks and disasters that maim one's life; And people hoard for future, food and drink; There cannot be life without any strife. And lost has man, his peace of mind and heart; Discontent always, he tends to depart.
