Long Sonnet About Slow Progress

Slow Progress (a long sonnet) In the last seventy years, little have changed of technical innovation. we had radio, then TV and now computers, all in natural sequence airplanes still fly as before a bit bigger and faster but the principle is the same.

Politics and money mingle as before corruption thrives and we the people pay the price. Privatization is the latest buzz word, but we have been there before and we ended up with poverty so bad, the state had to socialise the health service.
