Amœbas at the start <br />Were not complex; <br />They tore themselves apart <br />And started Sex. <br /> <br />And Sex has ruled the earth <br />From then till this, <br />Producing woe and mirth <br />And pain and bliss. <br /> <br />Through Sex the seedling wakes <br />To cleave the ground; <br />'Tis really Sex that makes <br />The world go 'round. <br /> <br />It sublimates the mind <br />With noble themes, <br />Or sends it unrefined, <br />Suggestive dreams. <br /> <br />'Tis Sex that rules the lives <br />Of clods and kings; <br />It gives us books and wives <br />And other things- <br /> <br />Ambition, love, and strife <br />And all the ills <br />And ecstasies of life- <br />And Freuds and Brills.<br /><br />Arthur Guiterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sex-38/
