Genetics

by john-edward-smallshaw

The cranes flew and the city grew and what did I do? put my head in the sand, so I could no longer see the change that was happening all around me. A land fit for heroes,city tycoons and wannabe Nero's and now't left in the stew pot for me or for you lot, and how do you feel about that? More money than sense and scant recompense for the builders who toil,who make the monsters that rise and eat up the soil, despoiling the land,more heads in the sand but holding out hands for that scant recompense. Reconciling the bile in their throats with those city gent suits in their trilby's and coats and soldiering on until the earth is all gone. A legacy indeed for them who would scramble in scrub land and grow things to feed the dysfunction of family, what seeds we have sown,how defectively grown we've become and all for the buildings that greedily search out the sun, somewhere up in the heights.
