The Natural Order

Every year they come to the gates

Ragged, tired, and hungry

And join the long queue to be scanned

A few pass through

Deemed to have achieved the required standard

While the rest are returned to their hovels

In the new natural order

For this is the new order of things

The new natural order

And those deemed to be highly developed

Are granted access to civilisation

Where life is sweet and peaceful

And law enforcement is no longer required

In the new natural order

Integrity, morality, and compassion score highly

Greed, vanity, and sloth, much less so

But those who do not possess such high virtues

Have no ladder to climb

For education has been abandoned

And the algorithm cannot be re-written for a thousand years

 In the new natural order

For frailty of mind, is no longer tolerated

And true civilisation can only exist

When crime and vice and greed are abolished

But this is no eugenic experiment

For those with retarded development

Will be supported, albeit at subsistence level

In the new natural order
