Migration, City of Dreams and Disappointment #2

"we are living in the City of Dreams
but these dreams are false
our children is - after us - the next victims of the dreams
worse, they are already the victims"

the dreams of success in Jakarta has drawn millions of people to come into the city, which turn in the last 30 years into chaos. the rules: the flesh of the weak is the food for the strong. and money is what has driven them to ignore the basic human needs. the word consume doesn't mean "food" anymore...
alas, the consume means also garbages..without no proper and impartial garbage recycling, the city turns into major dumpsite, especially in the delta where the river meets the sea. unfortunately, that's where those people with dreams are forced to live. and their children? they play with it...

unconcious, unaware...
