Sonnet: Things Seek Stability

How can all dance to changing tunes of bands?
Life must acquire some stability;
How long can one run on slippery sands?
One can’t put up with much lability.

The environs must be made quite friendly;
Each one’s talents must be well utilized;
Give opportunities quite equally,
And education makes all civilized.

One can’t live long in insecurity;
When fruits are wasted, why not give them free?
Life has to be one of sincerity;
All want to climb life’s tree successfully.

You can’t deny a person everything;
And if you do, God will give him something.
