The cult of progress

More chaos for your corner

Please, let me berate you.

It is for the best, to be sure

For we, a kingdom divided

united over mammon, the seeds

of strife we plant will bend

for some greater plan. Some

can't abide;

But should gold be mixed with iron?

Such is a church with a rainbow flag

and a nation of immigrants

 

"he that leaveth his homeland forsaketh his god"

To become part of a smorgasbord

Which lacks flavor or direct zeal

A new Babel for the new age

A new world and a new god

A new dogma for a new religion

Tolerance is love

Vice is virtue

Sin is progress

Equality is freedom

Exclusivity is bigotry

I really enjoyed this poetic

I really enjoyed this poetic commentary of cultural inversions and kaos. If one is a theist or believes in the evotuionary arc as many do; there is at least a hope and perhaps a long view that culture is moving however slowly towards some kind of acsenention.  This is a smart penatrative write and eloquent too!
