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?
