Progress will be his destruction
Paradise will be his ruination
Paradise will be his ruination
Seers whispered warnings
The wise screamed caution
The wise screamed caution
Yet he stumbles forward ever more
Seeking glory beneath the earth
Seeking glory beneath the earth
He forgot to seek the stars above
For they have lessons to teach
For they have lessons to teach
Shine and twinkle as they may
One day - they will be naught
One day - they will be naught
But a streak of burning flame
Eternity frozen in time
Eternity frozen in time
And to contemplate some rhyme
think of E. E Cummings and his work:
think of E. E Cummings and his work:
"Pity this busy monster, manukind,
not. Progress is a comfortable disease"
not. Progress is a comfortable disease"
