Progress

The world turns Button on fast forward Staying still requires momentum Obsolescence a recurring reality Operating in today’s paradigm Is is insufficient armour To fend tomorrow’s challenge Each day we push a little further Ten more metaphorical steps Exercising parts otherwise dormant Exploring new possibilities Challenging ourselves Not only to keep up But to push forwards And make progress So when we lie on our pillows at night We can relax with self-satisfaction Knowing that we did our best To keep up and forge forward Never again to be left behind
