They say.

Knowledge is power,

money and prestige.

Really all you do is pay,

Under constant siege.

You're baited with the flowers.

All it is is greed,

you work hard and travel far,

hoping they will plant the seed.

It's an empty promise,

it's really all on you.

Bite the bullet.

Grab the knife.

Take control over your own life.

They say.

The road is hard.

The one less travelled by.

"All it takes is a little work",

I feel it's just a lie.

When Eridu or the palaces and piazzas of Renaissance Italy were shaped, architecture was the most expensive and prestigious of all cultural endeavours. Today we spread our wealth more thinly, spending ever more on disposable consumer junk, building more roads to serve ever more grim private housing estates, unsustainable supermarkets and distribution depots (and container ports and their giant ships), and the landfill sites we appear to need to shore up our insatiable, throwaway culture.
