SANCTUS VEPUS
Plans prepared
So the state that scared
Me would have ho hold
They altered the laws
That crushed the cause
And a futile fight would fold
And all you've got is your persistence
To ensure your even existence
Sanctus Vepus you show us a way
Sanctus Vepus won't you stay
Staniforth's fence
Ten years hence
Has rotted away
And Hennessy's hedge
Has left the edge
And it's here to stay
How green is your grass
And the MAFF faked farming a farce
Sanctus Vepus …....
Honey's hectares
A tractor tears
Twixt cross and creek
His treacherous turf's
A waning worth
And his tenement does reek
The grim reaper's guarding my gate
The grim reaper lies but he's too late
Sanctus Vepus ….....
You knew a nature
Man the maker
A landscape's littered lies
Plants were potted
Neurons knotted
An acrid act applies
And I apply for permission
To exist your ominous omission
Sanctus Vepus …..…

There are numerous places where the viability of agroforestry and forest gardening have been demonstrated in the UK. This song was inspired by one in Cornwall. When this lyric was penned in 1991 the farmer next door was selling a slice of his rare topsoil with each sod of lawn turf he harvested. There were further examples of unsustainable land use exhibited by other neighbouring folk yet they had the audacity to criticise and moan.
26 years later there is a woodland with much biodiversity, impeccable watershed and lungs.
