Cruelly Changed

They knock the little buildings down,

Replacing them with towers,

For giant corporations hold

Those taking-over powers.

 

The neighborhood has much less sun

And character and charm,

Plus traffic and more people cause

A reason for alarm.

 

The restaurants and shops we knew

And had for years embraced

Are empty or with unfamiliar

Stores have been replaced.

 

We grow to love the place we live

But when it’s cruelly changed,

It’s natural to start to feel

A little bit estranged.
