The Soul City

The city is ancient with modern buildings. The secret lies in the roads that pass through it.

Lifetimes have traversed through the lanes, adding their inputs, which only made the city stronger.

It takes pride in its indestructibility. Neither war nor natural disasters can destroy it. This city just renews itself in a new garb.

But deep down, the underground alleys tell a different story. The ruins of experience are stored here and threaten to weaken structures on the ground.

The trees look resplendent, but the flowers and fruits draw their essence from roots—roots that carry many tales. The citizens thrive and survive on the produce and are impacted somehow.

No wonder any two cities are not identical, despite the external sameness.
