Not Yet
What do you make of the decline of Western civilization?
Western civilization may be getting killed.
The halcyon days may have ended.
When volumes of knowledge in minds are filled,
The wounds of culture may not have been mended.
The ideas of the Greeks speak through the years.
The Enlightenment saw thoughts come alive,
Through the attacks and the jeers.
It is thinking that exists for one to thrive.
The intellectual groundswell leads to the slaying.
Dances in the darkness by thinkers create shade
While the music keeps playing.
The ideas, ill or great continue to be made.
The state of ideas is not a geographic dread.
Western civilization is not yet dead.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
