It’s cheaper to demolish
Heritage and more
Than take the time and effort to
Conserve, and then restore
Developers have too much clout
Complaints on deaf ears fall
Their voices simply disappear
In dust from wrecker’s ball
Everything for profit
Got to have it quick
Maximising landspace
Shit it makes me sick
I was considering remove the expletive in the last line,
but thought, no, this really makes me angry.
Poetry, after all, is meant to express how the poet feels.
Yes?
