Sonnet: Vice Begets More Vice Poem by Dr John Celes

Sonnet: Vice Begets More Vice

Rating: 5.0


No evil mind or heart is called righteous;
An evil source begets just evil things;
Devils don’t care if life is most precious;
True charity from hearts good, loudly rings.

Goodness isn’t born from wretched human hearts;
You cannot feign for long doing good deeds;
Results are bad from total of bad parts;
To fire goes bad grain and harmful weeds.

Though potable is water made from brine,
God fills with water rivers fresh to drink;
A country can’t progress with vice and wine;
Sane minds and hearts can only good thoughts ink.

More evil’s born from evil every day;
The good, one does in truth alone will stay.
