WHAT MEN DO

Make the concrete and move block,

set the mortar with the brick,

carry high a long steel beam -

O, the labor of strong men

through the ages can be seen.

​

Ride the horses, raise the arms,

driving fast the chariots,

shooting arrows from the hill -

O, the battles of skilled men

through the ages can be seen.

​

With his science and his math,

finding atoms and far moons,

finding quantum and the string -

O, the study of smart men

through the ages can be seen.

​

Plan the future for the earth,

engineer us the next world,

peer in nature for far more -

O, creations made by men

yet in time will soon be seen.
