as a complex problem.
The modern civilization
that man had constructed
is a world of illusion
that oppresses man’s
Spiritual nature.
It stifles the innate longing
for the ultimate reality.
The modern city represents
the mass that denies man
the true identity
and enslaves him in the
pseudocorporateness
of modern civilization.
In the century of man’s greatest
technological achievements
man no longer needs God.
He builds there his fantastic
protected cities of withdrawal
and experimentation and vice.
The glittering towns that spring up
overnight are no longer images
of the City of God, coming down
from heaven to enlighten the world
with the vision of peace.
They are brilliant and sordid
smiles of the devil,
cities through whose veins
money runs like artificial
blood that leads to greater destruction.
