Progress

(January 30, 2003)

Progress.
Earth’s surface covered,
     the ocean floor conquered,
     final frontiers found.

Progress.
Every neuron and id and ego
     defined;
     minds expanded past ten percent.

Progress.
Universal conscienceness shared.
     Maybe.
     Mapping the past,
          future unknown.

Progress.
Soul and spirit rediscovered,
     Intelligent Designer and higher purpose
     sought?

Do we progress?
