Progress.
We, mankind, who bask in glory
for hoarding secrets of the flame
parade in our own ignorance
- life's precious gifts, we maim
On such matters as humility,
we're strong in our resolve,
to grope blindly in naivety
midst our 'triumphs' we revolve.
Spurred by the mighty dollar,
we purge this sacred land
of gifts taken for granted
with destruction hand-in-hand.
"Destruction" follows through with us,
the future's mark-ed way,
but then again, I had forgot,
it's "progress" as you'd say.
A/N: Hmm... progress. Speaking of, say 'no' to nuclear power in Australia...!
