Sonnet: Live Not As Fools Poem by Dr John Celes

We learn from Mother Nature's secret ways,
In transient life on earth, until we die;
We look upon the sky and tend to gaze
In wonder, asking God, the question, ‘why? '

God's universe does goad the human art
To soar to dizzy heights in lofty feats;
Nevertheless, it needs a mighty heart
To dance as per His will, divine tune, beats.

Yet, lazy fools, their talents, bury safe,
And live in somnolence, life's apathy;
They think life thus remains quite super-safe,
Incurring wrath of God, not sympathy!

All things could crash upon the earth some day,
Like stars that gleam so fixed in space, God's way!
