Question L.How do you envision the city of the future?

THE FUTURE I EXPECT

By Ramiro De Taboada

An instruction touches thousands simultaneously, hard drives analyze around the world a million answers even faster, flying offers, operations born, rates changing, purchases, sales ...

…Only seconds and fortunes are born, fortunes die.

The East bleeds with wars born of ancient hatreds and rancorous gods. Nations dead from thirst and hunger…

…Europe tightening with immigrants fleeing these wars, that thirst, that hunger…

…América Española trembles at the vengeance of insects carrying the blood, ending the childhood…

…The Asian Giant exploits like fish stocks the human beings who breathe fumes they do not see ...

…North America throbs before a world that gazes with envy and hope….

…The world heats, the mists thicken, the snow

melts. Green forests retreat against

unforgiving cement, and the rivers die: puffs of

mercury in barren lands...

…Furnaces burn and wheeled monsters exhale breath that destroys, that kills ... the sun takes revenge, burning us … mercilessly …

…and we, pale, dejected, take refuge between thick walls…

…Yet, reason peeks around the wall. A tenacious human spirit encourages ...

... I see a city beyond the gates of the Apocalypse. Men work with men and for men, science cools the exhalations of monsters, feeds them not with the unearthed fossils, the dark wealth from the wounded East…

… but with light and air and water ...

... The foolish pursuit of a development that kills, falls back; and teamwork for a common future advances. The fight for “our children and our children's children" defeats the selfish struggle "for my well-being."

…The city is clean, workloads are balanced. Androids, that almost human, serve humankind…

…Time for us now to spend with our children, running free among green trees, swimming cool in clean water...

… Fewer police, more confidence for people walking through the night…

…fewer ambulance sirens wailing to hospitals demanding “American Express” to heal diseases and wounds ...

… more life for those who live in those cities...

… The science in the city awakens, seeks to make sustainable that change that brings life, seeks to eliminate the disease and death ... not create it …

…There are no weapons in the hands of children. White-headed elderly becoming more, and more young people beginning. Each appreciating their experiences as a science of life …

… Corporations earn less and give more ... Questions are fast, instruction faster, but now the answers are reasoned, and come more calmly …

… no fortunes are lost, people become …

happier.

… I truly hope that reason soon comes out from behind the wall.

Thank you very much
