Shhhh… Close your eyes and go back to sleep, it’s less agonizing than witnessing your own suicide. Sand for sale; environment ravaged Sand, water, forest and man… Don’t forget the sky and rock, the wolf and lion, the mountain and wind, they too have a stake in this. Buy it all up now, people, because soon there’ll be nothing to imagine, nothing to see, nothing to hate, nothing… and we’ll have a
