"Progress"

The past, it seems, is dwindling away
And change is all around us, everyday
Destroying all we loved and all we knew
No matter what we try to say or do

I scarcely recognize what used to be
Those places where I'd go to be set free
From all the constant chaos in my life
My hideaways, devoid of stress and strife

But ever-changing are the winds of Fate
Especially, it seems to me, of late
When all the fondest memories of my past
Come crashing down around my heart at last

And I have but a single wish, in truth:
That they would stop this raping of my youth
And leave alone those things I held so dear
For at least another fleeting year
