Dystopia

Dystopias are interesting. Especially to me. A dystopia is "socially, morally, and politically terrible" (Via Brainstorm Services); the complete opposite of utopia. The term was coined by Thomas More in his book Utopia, 1516. I once did a paper for English that took place in a dystopia.
So, I was searching 'dystopia' on Google when I found a poem by Robert Gray where he tells of a city where humans are ruining nature, while they are part of nature. Check it out here.
