nostaligia for phools

Posted: Jun 3, 2008 Tue 10:33 am     Views: 236    Interacts: 0

Glass and steel and chrome

Forget ancient Rome

This is new world come

home



Progress is eternal

not ephemeral but real

jagged lines straightened

lives enlivened



Nostalgia is for fools

the infirm drools

thinking of phools

trapped in whirlpools


Out with the old

the new unfolds

worlds to behold

seek toeholds


Progress is eternal

not ephemeral but real

jagged lines straightened

lives enlivened
