Progress Report<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pearl has lost its luster
The peach has lost its blush
The leader’s lost his army
The artist’s lost his brush<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The poor man’s met his maker
The rich man’s found the Lord
The dying man has repented
So the saved man can report<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That all is well in Personville;
It functions as it should
To lead us down to evil
And progress there is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
