I've discovered that the term progressive
has come to be synonymous with pluralistic thought
And naturally, forward thinking is all inclusive
without discrimination
thus truth requires no qualifications.
A falsehood is only that which brings discomfort to the mind and body
"Follow your heart and seek your pleasure alone":
The directions to a land of more unanswered questions
with no investigation into the benefit of this type of "progress"
Because that would be judgmental
with a preference for the open ended, answers become restrictive
and we don't want them.
So we have a land full of open-minded,
Forward thinkers who believe in no absolutes (save their pluralism)
And I've been looking around at the culture and thinking
that it's come to resemble an expanding
Ball of rubber bands that is comfortably accommodating
Yet increasingly unstable, bouncing from here to there
Could unravel at any time
And everyone wonders as to it's purpose.
We have progressed, but no one is fulfilled
Because there is a quiet that follows the frenzy of the
Submission to every fleshly fancy.
I've heard that deafening silence and devoid of peace,
unsettled beyond soothing.
It longs for an answer.
