What Is The Mere Fact Of Life Poem by james watkin

What Is The Mere Fact Of Life



What is the mere fact of life
Compared with its heroics?
Breath, for its own sake, against
Panting of its fanatics?

Keep to the valleys, who would
Their animal natures pet!
Man as crown of creation
For soul's dignity has met

With what pitfalls in its climb!
With what coldness and crevasse!
Who would, as swine, be pampered
Know only of a morass!
