<h2><SPAN name="poem50"></SPAN>UNCONTROLLED</h2>
<p class="poetry">The mighty forces of mysterious space<br/>
Are one by one subdued by lordly man.<br/>
The awful lightning that for eons ran<br/>
Their devastating and untrammelled race,<br/>
Now bear his messages from place to place<br/>
Like carrier doves. The winds lead on his
van;<br/>
The lawless elements no longer can<br/>
Resist his strength, but yield with sullen grace.</p>
<p class="poetry">His bold feet scaling heights before untrod,<br/>
Light, darkness, air and water, heat and cold,<br/>
He bids go forth and bring him
power and pelf.<br/>
And yet, though ruler, king and demi-god,<br/>
He walks with his fierce passions uncontrolled,<br/>
The conqueror of all
things—save himself.</p>
