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
