attempt at a sonnet

If Doctor Frankenstein were here today
and viewed the monstrous chances people take
I wonder, would he turn his head to say
"these are worse beasts than I could ever make"?
If melancholy Hamlet was alive
Ophelia still worried by his side
I wonder, with his demons, would he strive
to slay the King that slayed the one who died?
If Jesus Christ himself was born again
and offered up his sacrificial blood
I wonder, would he put himself through pain
to save his brethren from the 'pending flood?
For their poor planet, our embattled Earth
Is filled with souls who do not know its worth
