13. God Said, I Made A Man - Poem
by Jose Garcia Villa
God said, "I made a man
Out of clay—
But so bright he, he spun
Himself to brightest Day
Till he was all shining gold,
And oh,
He was lovely to behold!
But in his hands held a bow

14. Aimed at me who created
Him. And I said,
‘Wouldst murder me
Who am thy 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 curious
Of this so regal head.
‘Give thy name! '—‘Sir! Genius.'"
