HUMANITY.
Keen men, mean men, merely money mad, Cave men, slave men, slovenly and sad, Strong men, wrong men, going to the bad, All marching to the Day of Judgment.
Sleek men, weak men, slinking left and right, Rough men, tough men, eager but to fight,
Queer men, fear men, creatures of the night,
All marching to the Day of Judgment.
Grim men, slim men, laggards in the
race, Tall men, small men, stern and fierce of
face, Proud men, loud men, seeking power and place, All marching to the Day of Judgment.
Crude men, rude men, jostling on their
way, Mild men, wild men, aimless and astray, Clay men, play men, living for the day, All marching to the Day of Judgment.
Brave men, grave men, in a noble role, Great men, straight men, stout of heart
and soul, Wise men, prize men, pressing towards the goal, All marching to the Day of Judgment. —Grenville Kleiser, in the Swiss Monthly.
