Driving through my city, I see

	Burned out
		boarded up
				windows

On 
	Burned out
		boarded up
				homes
Occupied by
	Burned out
		bored to death
				people
In a
	Burned out
		boarded up
				town.


These homes once
	Gleamed with optimism
	 And neatly trimmed lawns.
Happy new owners invested in
	New hopes 
	New beginnings 
	A new home
	Like a new baby
With a bright future.

Now
	A blight future
	
On the
	Burned out
		boarded up 	
			     avenues
of my home town.
