Sonnet: Man Has Much Things To Do

Sea-water, wave and tide that come ashore,
Is only one whose shapes may be different!
Staying in harmony with ocean floor,
All are both afferent and efferent.

All kinds of fishes live in sea-water;
All kinds of men, women too live on earth;
Hunger’s the primal drive that does matter;
But, Man has other things to keep than breath.

Man is like God in form, highly evolved;
He has the pow’r to reason good from bad;
His life on earth must be Maker-devolved;
His earthly wants, make him most days sad.

Man ought to cater to his spiritual needs;
This makes him diff’rent from the beast that feeds.
