The Local Impact
The bakery on the corner
“Closed” spread across the door
The grocery gathering dust
Will open again no more
Gone is the ice cream shop
A child screams and cries
All of this can happen
When a local business dies
The people know what happened
They didn’t want to say
Their products might be better
But shops open inconvenient times a day
They claim that its much easier
To shop the supermarket that's next door
The bad thing is that this leaves
The local business owners poor
How can we stop this issue?
How can we take a stand?
If you wish to see a change
Then your mind you must expand
You need to buy their products
Their stores you must promote
You need to fight for town character
Help keep local businesses afloat
