\nThere\u2019s them that\u2019s got and them that\u2019s not
\nThat, without the readies or the wherewithal,
\nPeople are nothing but fodder, fit just for the pot.<\/p>\n
\nprivatise life \u2018til all expire, unbeknown
\nto all ( save God, whose trappings we now own ! )
\nbecome, everlastingly so, free :
\nfree to sanctify inequality,
\nfree to worship Money and Self alone
\nfree to crown the human ape-baboon
\nfuture Queens and Kings of Mars or Moon.<\/p>\n
\nMaking Abrahamic chasms wider*,
\nfree to enshrine elites above the law
\nensuring none of us may be the wiser,
\nfree to bask as glorious sons of New-Man :
\nmonied incarnations of Space-born Hu-Man.<\/p>\n
