Progressive Regression


One Job

One simple task

Taking what you learn

Giving it back to others

Fire spreads and shares its light

Everyone carries a torch, lit or unlit

But we all carry responsibility to find the light and share it

Until everyones torch burns bright

So no children hide under the covers

Teaching to value what you earn

Make one change is all I ask

One life
