Robert W Service - ProcreationRobert W Service - Procreation
Work rating: Low


It hurts my pride that I should be     The issue of a night of lust; Yet even Bishops, you`ll agree,     Obey the biologic `must`; Though no doubt with more dignity     Than we of layman dust. I think the Lord made a mistake     When he designed the human race, That man and angel in the make     Should have brutality for base. Jehovah might have planned at least     Not to confound us with the beast. So with humiliation I     Think of my basic origin; And yet with some relief I sigh,—     I might have been conceived in sin; Instead of being, I believe,     The offspring of a nuptial eve. So when I look in beauty`s face,     Or that of king or saint or sage, It seems to me I darkly trace     Their being to a rutting rage . . . Had I been Deity`s adviser     Meseems I might have planned it wiser.
