Progress Essay, Research Paper

It started with pureness, then became sin. It didn?t matter to people,

they didn?t follow. Ignorance, immorality, we just got worse. Until, one day

He made a rainbow. It started all over again. Now people had to care. If they

kept up their bad habits, they knew their future. So onward we went, our

intelligence grew. Aristotle to Copernicus, "I thought we were the

center!?" Then Kepler wrote Harmony of the Spheres. I didn?t read it. Did

you? But Newton it was who discovered Kepler?s three laws. How are things put

in orbit? No one really cares. We keep getting smarter but does anyone notice?

It?s taken for granted, I think I?ll live. Einstein arrived with his crazy

ideas. I forgot, what are they again? Humans progressed to things they could

never imagine. We landed on the moon, but do your remember when? Now we?re

here with electronics and computers. Everything is digital. No one seems to

care. Not many appreciate the progress that has led us here. But when will it

start all over again? -James Hanson (Please use this poem only as a reference.
