Sonnet: In Relentless Despair…

When problems of all kinds surround a man,
And hopes of break-through appear very dim,
Despair afills attempts to solve them if he can,
And life on earth has turned so very grim…

The will to live seems lost considerably,
Temptations drive his mind to crazy heights;
Each fleeting moment slows so miserably,
Decisions made are spirited in-fights…

To cut one’s thread of life seems imminent;
No human soul offers a helping hand;
The vanity of life looks prominent;
A man seems alien in his native land…

God helps to face the storms of life somehow;
His love and mercy flows from high above!
