Cape Cod might be like a civilization. Social hierarchy is rampant. The politicians, inheriting money from ancestors of crime and fame from assassination, the retired who drive slow just like they’re ways and the minorities, who the town tries to hide in affordable housing. That leaves your middle class, taxed enough to never be able to move up but making too much to ever move down. The children of these groups follow in the footsteps of those before them, Politicians daughters marry movie stars, The retiree’s children have kids of their own and the minorities’ kids grow up in a never ending cycle where they will never get anywhere due to their own chains of addiction and abuse. The children of the middle class run off Cape unless they to have fallen prey to the vices of self-indulgence.
You use very nice diction in this piece. The run on sentences lose me a bit though. Isn't Cape Cod a civilization? I'm not sure there is any way to debate that point.
