The Supreme Product

Is iron water? I know, hearing This you can not utter immediately Anything. You can say Iron is eight times Heavier than water You can say Iron is black in color You can say When highly polished Iron looks As bright as silver. I know, Iron is found In the bowels of the earth Mixed up with Other materials Iron is melted and Freed from other materials. You can find Three forms of iron- cast or Pig iron, wrought iron And steel. Iron is useful to all To rich and to the poor. O my dear, Like iron You come from the same Bowels of earth You are made of water But much heavier All colors are within you With proper knowledge And humility You look much brighter Crossing all borders O my son of nectar You are more than any other. I know, three modes are within you Modes of goodness Modes of passion Modes of ignorance And you are to decide Which mode is better For the larger interest Of the creative world. I would not have been here But for you, O men, the Supreme Product of nature, stay here You are the most useful steel-iron You are the most beautiful life-water.
