They clench onto their weaThered front lawn decor
Placing greater value on a facsimile
Of a Roman statue bought for 19.99
Over the dignity of others
"They made their choice", they say
Over the third bottle of wine that week
To be fair, they've cut back from four
Work has been really stressful after all
In neighbourhoods once full of life
Have been replaced with sterile investments
Soon we shall be as sterile as the glass house
That shades a home full of history and character
Soon we;ll be as bland as the drinks that they sell
In a mason jar garnished with twine
Feeling nothing but emptiness
"Awaiting that dreadful... shock of destruction"
