Sonnet: Wisdom Misused

Oh, how some men can stoop to levels low, Despite old-age and wisdom that God gave! Their selfish hearts want money all the more! They say one thing and do differently, rave! They throw their principles good to the air; They nod their heads to orders without shame; They try to do most things in ways unfair; They try to harass righteous souls and blame. Their greedy hearts and minds have made them thus; How sad to see such men behave this way! They could receive God’s rod and Maker’s curse! That they must see their blunders, God, I pray. But this is how most men behave these days! With hearts like stone, they wear a mask for face! Copyright by Dr John Celes 12-28-2006
