Making Progress

In life we learn

We yearn

For a certain stimulation

Through experience

We are taught

What we ought

To do

What we ought

Not to do

And we can learn

From example

From our own example

And from the example

Others set for us

Because they learn

Some lessons before us

We can learn

Many lessons

Before we have to experience

These for ourselves

But these lessons we all learn

Are designed to teach each other

And ourselves

So that we can continue

To make progress
