Progress Poem by soren Barrett

There were the dark ages
then the Renaissance
enlightenment only an illusion
darkness from sages
as science gave its responce
mistrust's blindness a new delusion

Mechanical magic stole the show
truth sold for comfort held dear
misdirection to violence and fears
a cloud of deception did grow
now only a thin veneer
a blanket of false liberty appears

A hope for immortality
was the spark
to put death in chains
technology fed flames of vitality
leaving its mark
now only ashe remains
