Progress

Green protester, organic socialist intellectual
concerned about the Earth and humanity

They are Enemies of Progress
 
"bloody hippy layabout!"
spits a Businessman with an illusion
of endless growth and prosperity.

Progress = Good
"Consumption for all"
"You need it!!!"
(Is Coke   Is Good)

The many mental tortoises forbid talk,
ecological discussion is verboten,
an endless sea of junk is sold.

This is Progress

Profligate spending soothes the depression,
boosting our crushed egos 
as we are trampled by Lifestyle

NOW!!!
not tomorrow
NOW!!!
not yesterday
NOW!!!
must have it
NOW!!!

Feed the urge,
Progess   Consume
Build Progress with your wallet.

Return and exchange concern
swap ecologies for Progress:
shiny, glorious and inexpensive
at $19.95   alls well
leave well enough alone
we’ll be alright. There Is No Alternative 
Thre is no end to Progress, 
we march on in to the Valley of Wealth..


It would be so easy 
if only we could accept
the easy eloquence of Progress

Yet,something is lacking
 the "real world" of 
"planning is Communism", 
"Green is Evil" 
"Anarchy is Chaos"
(brought to you by PROGRESS Inc.) 
is strangely deranged. 

Innate tendencies to wait 
until its too late must change 
or our lives may be dealt a deadly hand.

What if Progress is fading?

Reject the trinity
the suit, the dollar and the easy fix,
throw away Progress without regret.

Progress does not equal progress
Progress is not equal to always right
Progress is not equal to good

Forget Progress, instead progress
