We keep having
this illusion
about transcendence
and evolution
It ain’t happening!
We ain’t becoming
these advanced beings
we is becoming monsters
we think
yeah, we think
that we’re making progress
that we’re (sic)
getting there
but the joke
is, apparently, on us
cause none of it
is happening—
not anytime soon
Nice work
And well said, I think.
Progress is defined by profitability, as far as I can see. At least generally. It's no coincidence that change doesn't come until it benefits business, with almost no exception. As horrible as it is to imagine, if slave labor became more profitable once more in the US, it would come back. There would certainly at least be a serious attempt to propagandize. I mean, in a way, it's never really left. We just moved it to the prisons, where it's still quite profitable. Largest prison pop in the world, by no accident.
eventually I will figure out
eventually I will figure out what I want to say
God speed to it.
God speed to it.

The rot sets in.
Time to renew,
to purge. An old
fashioned revival
in a compground
tent replete with
choir and tamborines
is what we need.
