HOMO FABER

               When we consider all the things we’ve made
               In our career as an artificer,
               No wonder that we think that God’s displayed
               A kindred trait in making us occur.

               It’s only natural to extrapolate
               That we arose from a creative act,
               One that we subsequently imitate
               Now both an artisan and artifact.

               Yet if we have assumed the powers of God,
               Then let’s employ our creativity
               In ways not to incur His wrathful rod,
               But rather to exalt humanity:

                    Let our inventive powers fabricate
                    What shows us grateful and then proves us great.
