With bridges that connect the monster sky line, everyone in a hurry to work, shop or dine.
Once a rolling wave of forested hills, now there’s someone on the corner selling pills.
A city once thriving with commerce & living, now dead & abandoned except for beggars in need of giving.
The crime abounds as property value falls, who will hear when the final victim calls?
Tents of homeless with more on the way, there’s no more room for those that don’t pay.
So what’s the answer for these buildings left empty? Real estate for the homeless it seems a plenty.
At what cost our society has had to pay, for city leaders who never do what they say.
Working from home, not on the roads congesting, all the while delivered food they’re ingesting.
No more to the city to shop, instead order on-line & off the couch to the delivery door they hop.
Don’t you see that with the cities decline, our society is also being shut down, shut in & walking a fine line.
Sad truth is the decay won’t stop there, it will seep into the suburbs & country, it’s almost too late to care.
If we don’t do something to help our cities recover, they’ll end up graves of ash & bone…forever.
