a study on progress
it can’t be stopped
except by total annihilation
and even then
maybe not
death is the epitome of the definition
no matter how you look at it
wave after wave
contributing to the grand scheme of things
but when it happens
right there in your own backyard
it mainly gives you a perspective
you’ve probably always had
the universe is less random
than may appear in the side view mirror
but then again
just about anything
could blow up at anytime
