The sonnet opens with people chasing human praise—fleeting cheers and mortal crowns—while ignoring the divine seed in their hearts. Vanity’s siren song drowns out God’s quiet call, leading them to stumble in pride’s shadows, swapping eternal light for temporary stone. Yet God’s love waits, unshaken by the noise, ready to lift souls beyond earthly limits to true glory. The clincher? A bold call: ditch the crowd’s acclaim, bow to Christ, repent, and embrace His freely given grace—a gift that ignites the soul’s true flame, outshining all.

Amid the throng, they bask in fleeting cheers,
A crown of words from mortal lips bestowed,
Their hearts, entwined with vanity, for years,
Forget the seed divine that once they sowed.
The praise of all, a siren’s luring call,
Doth drown the whisper soft from heaven’s throne,
In shadows cast by pride, they stumble, fall,
And trade eternal light for fleeting stone.
Yet still the Voice above in silence waits,
A love unswayed by clamor’s hollow din,
To lift the soul beyond these earthly gates,
Where glory true, not ours, shall reign within.
Oh, fickle heart, seek not the crowd’s acclaim,
Bow to Christ, repent, His grace freely given.
