Sonnet 9 ~ Selfish Abomination



Sonnet 9 ~ Selfish Abomination

Do you fear the tears of your loss upon bride’s eyes

That you choose to remain living a life alone.

But, if you die without leaving a legacy, a new life behind,

The entire world cries; as if it were thyself thy widowed bride.

Nature’s energy will mourn and cry evermore,

The loss of beauty’s replication.

If you were to leave behind beloved wife,

She could see your soul reflected in your child’s eye.

A shiftless fool wastes money imprudently

Yet the money still exists within the world for others' greed.

But if thou waste beautiful manifestation; it is lost forever,

Eternally vanished and unearthed.

Whosoever chooses such a path of selfish abomination

Be loveless to anything and anyone else.

~ j. marshon
adaptation of w. shakespeare sonnet 9
