Pansies (Lawrence)/A Man

​

A MAN
All I care about in a manis that unbroken spark in himwhere he is himselfundauntedly.
And all I want is to see the spark flickervivid and clean.
But our civilisation, alas,with lust crushes out the sparkand leaves men living clay.
​Because when the spark is crushed in a manhe can't help being a slave, a wage-slave,a money-slave.
