WRITING OBSTACLE

Describe a city that is built entirely on water.

Consider how the city's location on water would affect the architecture, the transportation, and the daily life of the people living there. You could base this on a real place or create a new world!

The Sinking City

The city is sinking Deep beneath the earth There lies a place Full of empty space Like the void in my heart You tore apart While we float above it I can’t breathe Here or below But I can’t leave Even though I need to be let go The water is swallowing us whole As We’re drowning in sorrow This is our own fault I look in the mirror And find a ghost staring back at me This is now normal But the last city on earth Is here but not alive She is starving She is dying We stripped the soil of nutrients Bioengineered food is all around Nobody can survive We swim ashore But there is no hope To keep our bodies afloat In the wreckage of lust weve caused I just wish we could pause And turn back time To when we were alive Not just able to survive
