new encounters come.
 God Said, "I Made A Man"
God said, "I made a man
out of clay"-
But so bright he, he spun
Himself to brightest Day
Till he was shining gold.
And oh,
 He was handsome to behold
But in his hand he held a bow
Aimed at me who created
Him. And I said,
"Wouldn't thou murder me
"Who am thou Fountainhead"
Then spoke he the man of gold:
'I will not
Murder thee! I do but
Measure thee. Hold
Thy peace! And this I did,
But I was curiuos
Of this regal head.'
'Give thy name!'- Sir! Genius
 The poem shows
man's ingratitude to
his Creator - the God
who made all things in
the past, in the
present, and even in
the future.
