"WILT THOU TRUST DEATH OR NOT?"

[A Sonnet Inspired By Robert Browning's Epic "A GRAMMARIAN'S FUNERAL"] A pretty balded head man would prob'bly Answer as quick as possible, " I do." And a damn man invoked by poverty. Knowing much small shall say it is ne'er true. This man decided not to Know but Live. 'Tis nothing worth whether he Knows or Not. As long as to each day his wants receiv'd And a Doctrine in his mind, " All shall rot," Yet the former man whose answer was, " Yes." In Biblical context so much his faith, He ventures life or nothing-Heaven's success Giving Kirk his whole as the only path. Greedy for quick profits of goodness, sure, He w'd not discount life, as fools do here.
