Sonnet: The Modern Man!

I need your blessings, Lord, to change life’s course;
I need your help also to do my best;
Lord, help me improve my earthly resource;
God dwell forever in my heart as guest!

Money gets frittered though one isn’t spendthrift;
One’s wealth accrues not, despite labor hard;
Things happen not in ways one wants quite swift;
God makes a person sing akin a bard!

’Tis hard to live a life of grace on earth;
The modern world abounds in mortal sins;
Man does not know the worth of real mirth;
He looks entranced and fails to even wince!

The ‘Homo sapiens’ has forgotten God;
For sins amaased, man’s sure to get the rod!
