Man the gardener

Man the gardener.

Garden the earth.

Mans hands forever,

in the dirt.

Man the manipulator,

of the soil.

Man the manipulator,

who in earth toils.

Plants the very substance

through which man grows.

Vegetation and man,

hand in hand we go.

Man the gardener.

Garden the earth.

Man hands forever

in the dirt.
