Progress?

Our marked ‘progress' towards the stars Is littered with failed experiments. And although we are now comfortable Navigating through cyberspace, We are losing kudos in terrestrial terms. We are still paralyzed by unfounded fears Like children afraid of the dark. And the spiritual has been filtered out From the infotainment of existence. Woe to those who unknowingly hide The parched wastelands of their souls! Perhaps we need to reconsider The blueprints of our elaborate designs: Reflect on their innate purpose, Rather than seek supine asylum In a plethora of glistening gadgets.
