A poem by J. C. Manning

Man's Destiny

________________________________________________
Title:     Man's Destiny
Author: J. C. Manning [More Titles by Manning]

All human actions are ordained of God,
And for the common good: yet men see not
The strings that keep earth's puppets on the move;
But whine and whimper--wondering at the ways
By which unlook'd-for ends are brought about:
As blind imprisoned birds bruise out their lives
Against the cruel bars they cannot see.







[The end]
J. C. Manning's poem: Man's Destiny
