Progress

Progress is the enemy it's never what it seems It hides behind the mask of deceit Progress always means change change means money but it’s always money for someone who has never had to live with the changes that progress has left them Anytime you hear that they’re going to do a thing in the name of progress you can bet that it’s just another way of saying let’s take what’s beautiful, or intricately crafted and turn it into something sleek streamlined, cold…and ugly Without warning progress will rip the heart from a place steal its innocence It will pull the beauty from everything it touches and leaves in its wake a crippled, used-up shell of what it once was
