Why?

The Skyscrapers Towered Reflective Against The Ruddy Clouds
 
people work in them
people live in them
people consider it a pinnacle of success
to be part of the gold plated tap
horror culture 
in blowing your own trumpet towers

millions of  tourists visit them
and gasp in awe
at the testament to progress

as i sit on a deserted beach
white sand slipping through my fingers
pondering the waves
incredulous
i ask myself
why?
