Sonnet: On The Holy Bible

Within the Bible’s words, a world exists-
Unique, expanding Spirit’s horizon:
Whose sacred, mystical code, soul enlists,
Explaining matters pertaining to men.

The more we read what Holy Scripture tells,
The more we learn about God’s Kingdom well;
And how to enter God’s Abode or else,
Invite Eternal Damnation, that’s Hell!

The Bible’s stories make one truly wise:
And deals with problems faced by man on earth:
The punishments of God for human vice:
The boundless love of God that has no dearth.

Oh, what a wealth has God bestowed to man,
That offers Heaven, and increased life-span!
