Raised above our stations, in some ghastly experiment. Through some attempt at social engineering. In some mad quality and diversity initiative!
Scraped from our council estates from our shuttered up towns, from our regions in decline.
Lifted into a world of which we could make no sense. That only bewildered us. That set standards impossible for us to reach.
Well-meaning left-liberals wanted to get out type in. To effect social change! To bring about social justice! When really we should have been left in our place.
All because we’d read some books! Because we became excited at ideas! There’s a natural hierarchy. Why things are as they are. As they have been. It’s not by chance. Now we have to live our lives in perpetual intimidation.
