Negative Illusion


By Christopher Canenguez

The man stands on the proud summit of a volcano, although it may not be as it seems: an illusion of sorts. What is the very being of a human without thoughts? Should the reflection of an illusion matter if it is intangible? It is what it seems, if you wish to believe the vision of the blaze. The heat and tension of this city will soon erupt into a chaos, of what was never to be established here. A metropolis, which was originally a paradise, slowly crumbles only with minor suggestions of change. Please do not get me wrong if you think that this city is a paradise. I do not disagree.

Why should beauty be defined by just surface appearance? If it feels as if a moment is infinite, in this metropolis of stimulating thoughts, then let it be infinite, which may not stand forever. The originality of what was an urban town has taken a turn. For the good or for the bad? You decide. Only perspective can define what something seems to you. What was once natural has been overrun with a new activity. If this city has both good and bad personalities, why should we be judges of what it is? Live. Prosper. Perceive. If change is virtuous, it can also be corrupt. Think about the metropolis, Los Angeles.
