“Thank God for Evolution!”

for the High Priest of Evolution Science and the Plebiscite

High Priest: In greed we cut down all our trees - but not before earth saved some seeds.
We moved away once trees were done - but millions more grew when earth planted one –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: I'm an expert said the man in suit - I have earned a degree to manage trees roots.
I put trees in pots so we can move them around - I make millions of dollars by keeping them bound –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Trees once stood in a permanent place - and grew into giants taking up space.
Now I set them free by placing them in pots - they are totally in order in rows on lots.
I move them around so it's plain to see - never in all of history have trees been so free! –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Once they belonged to everyone on earth - every living creature valued their worth.

But now they are owned by a handful of men - posing as guardians over greed’s elusive trend –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Cut them all down, put them in a pile, burn them to ashes because in a little while - we’ll be making more money ‘cause all these trees are out of style.

Palm oil trees are now the current trend, so, thank God we have a plan and the waste of space can end.

We’re here to specialise, to cut the waste of forests running free, and so to maximise potential we’re on a killing spree.

Exterminate the species or like weeds they will become, they’ll interfere with progress and cut the profits from our funds.

Stay focused without compromise, that’s how we all evolved and worry not what earth will lose cause it can all again evolve. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: How could it be what once belonged to all - now belongs to no one except just two or three? To save you all from worry it’s been taken off your hands, it’s the duty of the clever ones to own and manage, all your lands –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”

High Priest: Kings, Queens and Governments first claimed all on our behalf - in protection of the realm they ruled, all done by legal staff..?

This is what your taxes bought, both far and wide they shout - now we need to privatise, to keep thieves and robbers out. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Sold to the highest bidder the headlines do declare - great value for money the governor makes clear.

Small print barely mentions who the private owners are - in fact we do not know their name just that they’re someone’s heir of some distant foreign government in a foreign land somewhere. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Catch those nasty little public out there running free - living in our forests without paying us a fee.

Now we are excluded we have no where free to go - with everything now private, a fee for license we must show. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Trespassers will be Prosecuted show us you paid your fees, or - no access will be granted you to walk amongst the forest of our free range potted trees.

Freedom is now illegal what don’t you understand - get back into your little pot for your water, food and air as you can only get it in the unit we let you share. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Our private eyes are tracking you to make sure we can hide - what we don’t want you seeing, because it’s all been privatised.

So, we keep you in the dark, but why turn on the light - we can make believe with you, that we’ve got nothing here to hide. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: We’ve upped the tax of bullshit you’ve been paying us to survive - because we’re managing all your freedoms, now that freedom’s privatised. –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


High Priest: Humans once free in a very large place - grew up into nations taking up space.

We will ensure your freedom by placing you in pots - til you’re totally in order in rows on lots.

We may move you all around so it's plain to see - never in the history of humans have its leaders been so free! –

Plebiscite:Thank God for Evolution”


Question by News-media: Could this evolve into "Revolution"?

Plebiscite: “No, we have been told by our High Priest of Evolution Science we have already evolved beyond that into our new freedom of which we are not free to change, as it could interfere with our current evolutionary thinking and imprison our free minds!”-

High Priest: “Hail the evolution (education for the masses)!”

Plebiscite: “Hail the evolution (wow, we have such clever educators)!”
