where the wild flowers grow

A glimmering metropolis,
doomed.
Roaming metallic
technology.

They are marked
with several melted
chrome scars.

That is how we
identify the real between
the things that we've
created.

Have you ever wondered
if streetlights are becoming our
northern stars?
The lamps seem to be all we
can see, the pollution of light
dims
the stars.

They walk,
restless.. Not
programed to sleep.
We
have labeled ourselves as gods.
And merely human,
we wouldn't survive our
futuristic children..

A metropolis,
proves that all that shimmers
must surely fade, someday.

Very good writing. It was like I was looking
at a long street with streetlights all along it.
Very good.

I really liked this write, Kaoru. Good imagery, especially in that 'roaming metallic technology' line.
Yes, I've wondered about those lights too.
