Progress
Ecclesiastes 6:10
The Futile Way Life Works
10 Whatever has happened was foreordained,
and what happens to a person was also foreknown.
It is useless for him to argue with God about his fate
because God is more powerful than he is.
Progress
What is progress in the mind ... what is moving forward?
What is considered progressive ... and what is helping out?
Is the mind of a beholder ... in the thought of destination
made in impressive feelings ... in the regular in and outs?
Oh Lord! It is a marvel … our lack of understanding
as in our self chosen perception we are reaching out.
Acceptation of others … not to notice our imperfections
or works half finished … as we struggle on in doubt.
In constant moving backward ... and in circles turning
thinking about progress … as our lives are finding out.
Arriving at our beginning … after great, great effort
spinning without notice … as an useless water-spout.
