Is This Progress?

We watch the world turn

With collective intentionality

Watch the world burn

Rationality’s a fallacy

Individual choices

Can equal public woes

Amidst a plethora of voices

But that’s how the struggle goes

Trying to sift through

What’s knowledge

What’s not

Does it help to go to college?

Or does it make us more distraught?

More and more we specialize

As the game becomes complex

While we’re exposed to special lies

From one leader to the next

Politicians and the rest

with 2050 projections

But no guarantees of success

With successive elections

No telling where crisis lurks

As we progress through the haze

Yet somehow we say it works

I can’t help but be amazed
