All in the name of advancement of career
in peace as war when there's much to fear
progress put great cities on the map
progression and regression at a snap

Two steps forward one step back
much ado about rewrites for school books
fill up emptied classrooms, powdered nooks
forward steps display progress
backward ones occur after school recess
the prime of youth wasted at multiplex lines
ignores parking meters, to seek auto fines...


Is there a man, who for all dreams walks forward
and progresses when he knows regression,
when positive change can be permanent
in ever precarious social arenas...
instability is an indicator for change..
that might move forward in linear fashion
like a progression of faithful worshippers
or the ones that follow another draped casket...
as always, a disadvantaged child collects in a bamboo basket...
but for a brighter tommorrow; after the moon, there's mars
might give thanks to progress to count his lucky stars.
