Everywhere And In Abundance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If progress is in the making of a total mess,
There must be absolutely without a doubt...
Many responsible who have accomplished this.
And they should walk around with puffed up chests.
With a consciousness undenied and quick to admit,
The 'who'...the 'why'...and the 'how'...
Such progress has been so effective.

Although some may perceive,
Those responsible for this achievement...
As dysfunctionally incompetent.
And proud of it they should be.
No matter how confusing their realities may be.

However...
If this is progress as it is interpreted,
Who can dispute the existence of it?
Since it is everywhere and in abundance.
To leave no one observant in shock or disbelief.
