Man and Environment

1.  Man and Environment 

2.  Principal Types of Mankind

3. Races of Mankind

From Adam and Eve
All born from same sieve
Skin yellow, brown, black and white
Hair straight and curly one can sight


This world being wide
In all directions did kids ride and ride
Then to settle in different environs
Which put its stamp and races varied


Floods and famines, droughts and disease
Races run as being seized
Crossed the seas with a fervour too
For a fortune which they not knew

4. Miss Renee Rickmers
who sailed her father's ship while crossing the Atlantic
From the New York Daily Tribune, Sunday, May 20, 1906

                                                                         
Land and climate being anew
Don a skin as being sewn
Parlours ashamed as hair being tamed
But a period taken for this change


May in future they go back
Will be given a new face pack
Man may have whatever goal
Environment would still play its role
