Knees of Enemies of Progress
Teeming and brimming with green bile
Enemies of progress plot from an evil thought
The downfall from a high wall isle
Against a progress protagonist caught
Up in an intrigue driven in seas of darkness
So black they defy illumination as foes hack
Into progress folders, files and systems whose thickness
Grows weary in an eerie stack
Undermined by presumed friends
Whose intentions and machinations defy
Logic as black magic whose trends
Magnify and signify the resurgence of ill winds that typify
Doom and gloom in bloom
In a dunk triangle when a candle wick flickers
To reveal the seal and feel of failing health in a room
Where life cringes and whinges when blinkers
Conceal a view into a vista
Whose perspective on subjective propositions
Runs counter to bans imposed on a cluster
Of malevolent solvents in dubious positions
Vantage points disadvantage
The progress protagonist thwarting good plans
Promoting the motivation mote on the stage where rage
Saunters, galumphing to burn buns
In baking ovens cursed by Heaven
For indulging in occult sciences
Cursing numbers seven and eleven
Labeling them catalysts of defiant stances
Monitored and captured
At dawn to light up forests
Where the progress protagonist defends the truth featured
Prominently when wizards and witches fly on owls’ crests.
