The last two centuries have seen
The most “progress” there has been:
Transport, communication, and
More-productive use of land.
Thus, according to experts’ gauge,
A positive of this age
Is, despite global congestion,
There’s now enough production
Of food for all-alive to live -
The problem’s the will to give.
So, surely, our modern press
Should add to words on “progress”:
Having all of humanity
Free from food-deficiency.
