Visions from people of Mexico-City: We are get­ting close to the end planned by our­selves. The destruc­tion of mankind by man him­self / We are at the point of col­laps­ing / You feel under your feet some sort of bomb that could explode at any minute / Because of the pol­lu­tion we are going to be just like the birds that fall from the sky and die / I believe the worst is that people will be perish away before the city / I think that we are going to suffer water scarci­ty and with all the sub­ways that have been built, the city is going to sink / We must take care of the city because it could reach a point where there are no alter­na­tives and if that hap­pens, the city is going to dis­ap­pear / Parks are not going to be parks any­more, there will be mostly build­ings that will keep falling down / They say that in the year 2000 we are going to be 100 mil­lions people. I don’t know how many we are now, but we are a lot.
