Sonnet: On Getting A Job? Poem by Dr John Celes

When years of studying hard in life on earth
Is followed by time lost in search for jobs,
Within the mind and heart, anguish has birth;
The student laments strife often with sobs.

Unemployment creates a mental state
Of frustration, depression, feeling sad;
If time and chance can't change a person's fate,
Some tendencies to suicide could add.

Then dawns the day when interviews do click;
The aspirant is overjoyed to core;
The transformation is something so quick;
Almighty God opens aright a door.

The joy of getting into job is great -
A feel, as if entering heaven's gate!
