it's such an incomprehensible disgrace.
that the 'premier shopping destination' does not even house a bookstore.
what have we stooped to? creatures
lusting after material indulgence! striving to fulfill narcissistic desires!
and this degradation has further spiralled
when sleazy entrepreneurs grabbed hold
of this "golden opportunity" to capitalise
on our carnal desires, to maximise profits,
to exploit us economically!
calling ourselves forerunners of civilisation by erecting mall after mall,
by tearing down historical giants to "enlarge the highway for more traffic"
such bullshit!
where are the bookstores? where are the libraries?
feed our starving souls lest we are nothing more than strutting soulless shells!
