Progress? Comments

'The Redeemer isn't coming, that's a load of spin. No posthumous reward for virtue, nor punishment for sin.' I heartily agree! ! Your poem has great rhyming, Jak. : ) bri

I'm not for sure 'sure' what it means, but I love the sound of 'sawdust Caesars'. ;)

Yes, Jak, I think I've heard that World War 1 was, back then, called by some 'the war to end all wars', but it wasn't to be so. ; ( bri

What an excellent piece of writing. Each stanza sardonically highlights the progress we have made over the years. In the minds of the greedy, narrow-minded buffoons, this is indeed progress. But for those of us who can see the folly in continuing to follow this path, we can only wonder what will be left for our children and grandchildren. A timely call to action to change course before it's too late.
