Analysis of Progress

True progress was what they realised
Houses bred more houses, on land
Where wildlife was disenfranchised
As concrete took over the land.
And they who know best do not mind
And they who own the land are blind
And they who protest have no sway
and they who destroy the land gain.
Save the environment, some say
Bollocks, Loch Lomond they would drain
So they could build more houses on
They would without a backward glance
With consideration for none
But their own corporate balance.

Thus there's houses everywhere
But no home for the homeless there.
