Smart Progress

Smart Progress
They did an excellent job of making their inventions work so well
Give them a pat on the back and a gold medal
Their inventors and designers are the best and proud of their work
It's a long list of things, here are a few:
Nerve gas that kills without mercy
Smart bombs that never miss their target
Guns more powerful than the previous generation
More efficient machines to steal our planet's resources
Better killing techniques for soldiers and secret agents
More capable spying software to syphon up our data
All of this and more are part of our world and exist
Not something from a Bond film or Clancy novel
Reality obliterates fiction just like it does people
Will you be a victim of a new lethal invention?
