The Closing of the Malls

A lot of malls are closing
(As I found out in the news)
‘Cause empty stores must equal
A decline in revenues.

For many folks despise the trip –
The traffic, parking, gas –
Especially when Amazon
Has bargains that surpass.

With just one click, your every wish
Comes true at your command
And you don’t have to schlep those bags,
So heavy in your hand.

A way of life is passing by,
For better or for worse
And soon our homes will be the measure
Of our universe.
