Weeping For London

In the middle of London's jungle,
In the soft light of an unseasonal heatwave,
I suddenly cry for the city.
Its myriad houses
And their anonymous occupants;
Its untidy complexity
Functioning somehow, anyhow,
Smoothly, miraculously.
I know it could all be destroyed;
Think, possibly it could still all be saved

We're an overloaded little country, rife with crime and people who don't care about each other, the thought of the next generation is terrifying, because those people are currently kids often lacking respect. Kids are neglected, animals are neglected and the economy is shot. I think we've had it, mate. Thought provoking piece. Good read.

The tears for London were

The tears for London were caused by a vision of it flooded by the Thames after Global Warming has raised the sea level by 30 meteres, but you are right - the other threats are are very disturbing too.
