That’s progress

Another mall.

Another high way.

Another sky scrapper,

and what do we say!?

“That’s progress.”

Another pill.

Another invention.

And another break

from natural tradition and

That’s progress.

Another big city.

On and on we go.

Another mouth to feed

in the Ghetto and,

That’s progress.

Another fallen tree.

Another river we pollute.

While all the while

we proclaim the excuse,

‘That’s progress’

‘That’s progress.’

‘That’s life.’

Another terms for man

avoiding strife and what do we say,

"Well that’s progress."
