Dystopia

It's hard to remember when or who started all this! Seems like little by little men elected by the people has fucked up our cities big time. In the name of modernity they built up taller and taller buildings to block our view, hide the sun and decrease the air supply. For every little cm of space grabbed from us they give back bars, clubs and cafes so we can keep on consuming and forget the peasant life our fathers were so anxious to get rid of. Our fixation with modernity is limited in stressed lifestyles, dreams of escape to places where poverty lies for us to feel better and evolved. We do give back some crubs to these communities...after all tsunamis have ruined places we would never afford to go but hypothetically we can...if we sell our house, car and soul to the devil.
It's hard to remember who started it but little by little Dystopia is consuming us and there is no end in height...there's always some more space up to build another floor!
