Expressway Expressions

I look out into the scorching sun The treeless expanse is no fun An expressway they are making Disinterest in pedestrians they're not faking The dust blows right into your face As soil laden dumpsters against time, race I am waiting for the bill "we must all pay" As the kick-back takers like to say Without them we could not hope for this belt Our unmet need the politicians really felt Planners and surveyors studied the road less, travelled As our debt burden out of control, unravelled They are on site as we speak Cheek by jowl with the hoi polloi meek How many have nots will ascend to use this expressway? How many generations of children for it will pay?
