HE MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE: a sonnet

HE MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE: a sonnet


We drift mindless along the flow of life,
Unsure of what we like or what we need.
We often lament world is full of strife.
But why? To this we don’t pay any heed.

We spend time in petty squabbles, pursuits.
But life is precious, not to be wasted.
Whether bitter or sweet may be life’s fruits,
It’s important that both should be tasted.

Never are two men or women alike.
We should not hate those who are not like us.
Though different, why should we them dislike?
After all we travel in the same bus.

God made man truly in his own image.
Hence all are godly as per this adage.
