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.
