Progress?

If I could watch the sun set behind the sea instead of looking out on old factory gates If I could listen to the sound of birdsong instead of hearing the constant traffic's drone What would I give, to be free to choose? to cast these morbid scenes away? to live where it's green,? to breath air that's clean!? to get back to a life before we "progressed" to this? I would give all that I have!
