WHO SAID THIS?
Who said this? "Let us make man"
What was the merit of his plan?
And who were those whose hearts agreed
To this the sowing of the seed
From whence man sprung? that animal strange
That wanders wild across the range
Of time, betraying wherever a clan,
Man's inhumanity to man."
Who said this and started with two
The wonder of human-coming through
The annals where the races strive
That has been split in strips of five;
That wars and claws and fain would kick
The face of him who made him tick.
No wonder he-adown life's span
Regrets he said-"Let us make man."
