He fathers, but says he, God gives, the Almighty has,
I shall not check,
I shall go fathering more and more
As He gives,
God gives,
The Almighty,
Not I should be blamed,
God has all but.
No birth control, more and more shall I go
Fathering and fathering
Even though
Am unable to feed them,
The half-fed, half-clothe ones,
The children of
Poverty, underdevelopment and un-education,
Illiteracy and superstition
And medievalism,
Malnutrition and backwardness,
I myself shall check and control
As the Almighty gives,
Not I, me,
But He the Giver of all.
