City Planning

This is a story told by the plant:
"They recognize my beauty and my force. So they put me into a glass cage from where I can easily watch their city planning. On my right, I see their daily city traffic. On my left, I can watch the flow of their Skytrain. And in the middle, they have built a tall, curved tower they call a skyscraper. They have put a light above me to make sure I would not stare into the darkness. They have also placed me at the bottom of a V junction, perhaps to celebrate their Victory. But I still stand there proudly green, calling it Vanity!"
