Sonnet- All Things End On Earth

The greatest men on earth must one day die;
The great Red-wood and Sequoias don’t long thrive;
The powerful-most men crash, however high;
No creature can always remain alive.

The tallest monuments too can’t last long;
All statues kept for men and Gods erode;
But continue ever must Nature’s song;
And every man must carry his own load.

The strongest metals too have wear and tear;
All reinforced walls too crack and crumble down;
And human-beings pollute the earth’s air;
The harvest is by both seed and soil sown.

All worldly things will come to dust one day!
But man can't miss walking in Heaven's way.
