Progressive Culture | Jeremy Garnett
Dedicated to Felicity, for the inspiration of a phrase.
Our culture of Progress!
Where knowledge is cash;
cash turns to metal
and the ceiling is glass.
A culture of progress
away from the soul.
We’ve turned our backs on the heartlands,
forgot we came from the trees.
The culture of progress.
Rome’s circus, a reality;
newspapers, the soothsayers;
our leaders, the beasts.
Well cultured progress.
We ignore the meat-game
to be fed like young cuckoos
from gullets oft strange.
A culture for progress,
but we’re stuck in demand
of everything in immediacy.
Biting our own hand.
