Progression Digression

Progression Digression We forge ahead little by little We accelerate the moderninities of life We call it progress... but what are we progressing towards? to do what is right? to an easier life? for those yet unborn? We invent new ideas for advancement We make everything we already have better We call it progress... but what are we progressing towards? to faster phones and computer chips? to robotics replacing our existence? for more weapons galore? We are removing the human out of humanity We are building our own demise We call it progress... Our progression to die...

Hello Brian, well, I agree with you all the progress we are building is fading with the meaning of humanity. At the end, we are going to find ourselves in front of a dam(n). Enjoyed. LINDA

You are right and how we have become totally dependent on them in some areas is scary. Thanks for reading
