Progress?

"Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves." D. H. Lawerence (1885-1938) English novelist, poet, painter, playwright

This quote is poetry within itself. So sadly true.

PROGRESS?

Men fought for liberty with blood and guns

Thankfully the patriots won

And time slipped by and by and by

Generations of patriots lived and died

Children of patriots in freedom flourished

In assets they thrived as they were nourished

More time slipped by and by and by

Children of patriots lived and died

All too apathetic they began to be

Took for granted their liberty

Now all the patriots had lived and died

Freedom is sadly slipping by
