How would you design the city of the future?
Augustine conceived a city of God
Whose main pleasure was to view the torment
Of the damned in Hell. Most cities since
Replicate that idea, the many
By the privileged few, are now downtrod
In the city itself, long hours are spent
Draining life out of labour, to then rinse
The blood from flesh, a shining new penny
Of profit for that’s the few’s finest kind
Of fun these days. Cleanse their sordid mind
And they’d see, a city such as a bee
Imagined. Once God built a garden free
Of lucrative sin. And if a city
Could also be a garden there we’d be.
Love
