'Anada is cat-friendly..o*`
I become unsettled when I review
The vision of utopia promised to us, it was crushed.
An antique lorry my father drove
Rusts in the grass as we roll past my ol' lane
Its bonnet now a roof to local fauna.
The air is thick and young Savannah coughs
When the windows are allowed open.
They said healthcare was a right of citizens,
The right citizens are those with currency
To get in the doctor's door, the rest wait to die.
We were promised abundant energy,
Once the petrol was spent so
Was the ambition of a nation, tensions burn.
Automation became extravagant and
The people forgot how to work for themselves.
Cities witnessed anarchy after brownouts and
People became victims of manufactured societies.
Forward the tram accelerates to the next station.
Father warned "Damned are those without insight."
I lay my journal to rest -- April 22, 2073.
