Sonnet: What Do We Do?

Oh, should I take such risks or play it safe? I wonder whether things are worth their risk! There is both love and murder in a cafe; Even the Chief-guest, you may need to frisk! Alas! nothing is guaranteed these days; There is much wealth in rubbish/garbage too; To become wealthy, people devise ways; Conscientious duty, most men fail to do. Nevertheless, people go for short-cuts; Most men are impatient in things they do; There are skyscrapers, in the midst of huts! Life's problems come to rich and poor men too. A balanced mind is what we need these days; To keep soul pure, we don't have umptine ways.
