So Much For Change Comments

How do we measure progress? I don't see a lot of it in how we treat each other Rusty, and I don't see that technological change has taken us very far except perhaps in matters of health, though being kept alive into unhealthy old age well..... nothing is simple.. Good, thought provoking thinking and writing. jim

Rusty, I like this poem so much. You've done a nice job with it. It's poetic. It's philosophical. I would work on the last two lines. I think the poem is so remarkably good that the last two lines need to stay with all the profound thoughts that precede it. Just my opinion, but take another couple of looks at it, and see how you might keep the same sophistication in the last two lines that run throughout the rest of the poem. This is a very deep poem. Thanks for sharing.

Making the journey backwards now, My friend? ? When we are children, we can't wait to grown up...and when we are old, and shrinking, we still want to walk tall (and be and be able to Pee? ?) VERY funny (but rather insightful as well....)
