          By ... Steve Lucky

By what standard should progress be measured?
Can people agree on what should be treasured?
Are those that some say stand in its way
Preventing us from going astray?
Should progress be measured by techonology
Or by benefit to society?
Questions need answers so one must progress
If he or she ever wants to find success.
Even answers that turn out out to be wrong
May be close enough to help us along.
What is progress to one is worthless to another.
Each has different values to discover.
Is there a standard to which all others are compared?
Is progress really progress if that progress is not shared?
For an individual and for a nation,
It takes progress to reach a selected destination.
