There is nothing that to this world I would add...
but with the power to destroy I would rise up
to rid this earth of housing tracts that voraciously
eat the earth...chewing up all open space.
Squatting there, rotting, no pride of ownership.
And those low income housing high rises, where
curl the humans that have no hope, but great hate
born of their environment and lack of education.
This world rumbles with government wrongs,
users and cheaters **** and trample the souls
of the poor...line their pockets with misplaced funds.
These things I would destroy, allowing the land
to a green place, where gardens would flourish -
and people would share equally, and at last
smile and be at peace.
