ROAD WIDENING

The narrow roads had already changed, trucks, PUVs and automobiles could now fit in a single lane. People who walked on the sidewalks were getting braver and braver, that they were playing chase with vehicles, while Death were looking after them, waiting for his time to reap. The trees that swayed and played with the gentle breeze were now gone, and I wonder where they went. When you look around all you could see were tall leaning posts with wires that hang loose, and birds nested at the very top.

Large machines came and knocked down every house that it passed by, while people camped away. Wrecking balls swayed here and there, and the walls crashed down, colorful tiles were shattered, walls as high as mountains fell down. There were tears in their eyes, as they watched their house and memories will be memories, and mementos would be buried six feet under ground.

As tricycles sped away, they had seen future in the corner of their eyes. Innovations that the leader had promised had killed the city, and ghouls would inhabit the land, and death will be pleased. Old souls will only cry, and their love will be wasted, for the land was not theirs anymore. Roads and unwinding roads will be ahead, and houses will be history. People will wander aimlessly, and they'll wonder what happened to the world.
