    We Are Made
    We are made
    if not by accident
    then by intention.

    We are made
    if not be the moment
    then by aspiration.

    We are made
    if not by incidents
    then by reaction.

    We are made
    if not by environments
    then by inclinations.

    We are made
    if not by God's hand
    then by our hand
    or by fate's hand
    we are made.

    We are made
    by the potter
    by the wheel
    by the furnace
    or our own zeal.

    We are made
    then
    one day
    unmade.

    Interesting poem. Al little confusing though when he wrote "if not by God's hand, then by our hand".

    Unmade, but by our undoing?

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
