NYC


Well, what can I say about the town I live in. It's a place where you can get lost in the shuffle, forget what matters and ultimately go bananas. Dirty, filthy, greedy and yet it has pockets of beauty and calm. I guess like any entity you have good and bad, positive and negative forces that keep some sort of balance but if you live here in the city sometimes it seems like the balance has begun to favor one side of the scales. I see on a daily basis the disease of greed, the kind of greed that epitomizes evil, the kind of greed that allows people the excuses they need to keep bleeding the weak dry, keep sucking the life from the marrows of our once great metropolis with no care in the world, no remorse to speak of. I used to think, "laughing all the way to the bank" was some funny saying that relyed on humor to fit, not reality. Unfortunately it seems that the people who gave this city color, backbone and a sense of community are being driven out while lifeless bloodsuckers lie and cheat their way into a plush leather executives chair, hovering above a lifeless street 50 stories high in the polluted skies. What will be left when nobody can afford to live and eat in this once great city except for the smallest percentile of American families. There will be no flavor, no color, no hope. Only wealth and greed, back and forth on the seesaw of tyranny. So much was born on these cold, urban streets, a true testament to our imaginations and the beauty we have inside our minds and souls. But now we have abandoned our love and whats inside our hearts and minds for the comfort of a box in the sky, an overpriced meal, and a false sense of calm. Greed and regret go hand and hand when you come to the crossroads of life and death, and when this great city has finally been Disney-fied, entirely, and all soul swept away by the broom of greed, our joy, hope and love will be replaced by regret. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
