Dr John Celes - A Man’s a Man!

A man’s a man, master or slave,
Living in a mansion or a cave;
Ensouled is he and equally;
Whether born poor or regally.

A man’s a man, stupid or great,
Whatev’r is his earthly fate;
A bastard-child or one high-styled;
A delinquent or one who’s mild.

A man’s a man, savage or saint;
Whether he sculpts or he does paint;
Going by car or only by walk;
Dumb by birth or one who can talk.

A man’s a man, living or dead,
Eating just dirt or overfed;
Wasting his time or working all night;
A dwarf by size or tall in height.

A man’s a man of science or not,
Cool-headed or one who is hot;
Toiling hard or a lazy-bone;
Perfect in work/ leaving half-done.

A man’s a man of any race,
Cultured or not; moron or ace;
Atheist or one, who fears the Lord,
Worshipping idols or one God.
