Progress (A Concrete Jungle) Comments

well said, creative and to the point. pertinent social commentary artfully expressed. 'of the long and dreary process we call development' great line - I call it the manufactured ecosystem. I also have a poem titled 'progress'

you start off so well at then keep that pace going the title was even good ' Progress (a concrete jungle) ' great write

This poem reminds me a little of a poem I wrote in defiance of progress titled, 'Back In the Day.' Certainly, at some point progress loses its 'pro.' Good write! Brian

A woeful and wistful lament about the linkages between nature and man-made development; interestingly connecting the word 'jungle' with that of both. Noted the subtle bitterness of the narrator as she proclaims that skyscrapers scrape the sky, a metaphor to show how our 'development' affects and inflicts damage upon that which is of nature. A nice read. - K.
