Evolution and Death
Of crypto-theological progress
Of humans rising from the humble worm
Where is Evolution’s grand success?
Those who are imperfect cause distress
Soon we want to murder the deformed
Oh! crypto-theological progress
Evolution’s natural life works best
Eugenics led to genocide in turn
Who is Evolution’s grand success?
Soon arose the measurements and tests
As if no human being could discern.
Oh! crypto-theological progress
Is your IQ less than all the rest?
Does testing impede children’s wish to learn?
Where is Europe’s great evolved success?
See the Nazis and the books they burned
Did any of the living feel concern
Re crypto-theological progress
Has Europe evolved yet into success?
