Sonnet: God Only Can Cure

Who can unclog the cerebral vessels?
Who can the sclerotic process undo?
Who can salvage the aged bones like shells?
Or reverse Cirrhosis of liver too.

Who can well cure Cardio-myopathy?
Prevent the fibrosis of musculature;
Who can cure hemoglobinopathy,
Or cure cancers except Mother Nature?

There is nothing in his hands, man ought to know;
A natural life, he must venture to live;
To Mother Nature, he must always bow;
Health of mind and body, money can’t give.

Just live today as best as possible;
Let God look after things impossible.
