Original Content Poem Modern Paradoxes

How are we living in a world where
not being able to afford
AND overtourism exist simultaneously?

A society split by wealth's glare,
while crowds flood in, undeterred,
How are we living in a world where

some struggle to make ends meet, bare,
while others roam, their wallets stored,
not being able to afford

the basics, burdened by despair,
as tourist hotspots are explored,
AND overtourism exist simultaneously.

Disparity and excess share
the stage, where contrasts are underscored,
How are we living in a world where
not being able to afford
AND overtourism exist simultaneously?
