Urbanity



Sprawling, teeming urban labyrinth
Spiraling furiously in all directions
Without direction No control
Expanding Absorbing Devouring ad hoc
Progress at what price, is this the real Promised Land?
Technological revolution and human evolution
Homogenizing Proselytizing, Globalization
Creative destruction synonyms to capitalism
Overrunning spirit soul humanity
Eradicating the past Paving the future
March of a million machines uprooting the olive tree
Emerald fields of verdant eternity
History culture genealogy geography
All swallowed by gray modernity.
