Student Writing Contest 3

Where do all the houses come from? It seems like it must have been a lot of work to create all of the things that we see now, clustering in intricate coagulations. Brick buy steel beam by brick. Expanding on the outskirts, but slowly decaying within itself. And as the cities grow, they overlap and replace anything in the way. The forest collapses in preparation for the incoming urban apocalypse, only to be re-planted in a desperate mimicry void of the fierce inexplicable wild that was somehow lost. Is this a bad thing? Not quite. Is it truly even an un-natural thing, in the end? Humans are just as truly pure and “natural” as any wild and free animal by themselves, but the real dispute seems to more concern their by-products. Mainly, their cities and towns. But again, why are they any less natural than the tools of chimpanzees? More complexity is not evil.
