The world;
The city,
In the North,
Is climbing up the mountain;
Is advancing in the forest;
Is expanding into the sea.
Far from there;
In the center;
Is rich from Humanness;
Is moderate in Honour;
Is poor from Heartless;
In the center;
Far from there.
Is contracting into the filth;
Is regressing in the wilderness;
Is falling down the crevasse;
In the South,
The city;
The world.

Notes:
Here, 'North' and 'South' have two meanings: rich & developed countries / rich areas in cities, opposed to poor & undeveloped countries / poor areas in cities.
