If I may presume to summarize the concept, "Eminent Domain," The Big P People own the Right of Way And the little p people Have temporary possession of theΒ Β opportunity To get out of the Way, Or to be smashed under the wheels Of Big P Progress.
Appropriate compensation will be paid, Of Course, And living spaces provided To the little p people, While the Big P People thunder by on their new highways, Overpasses, airports, causeways, and thoroughfares.
Reclamation will be done over the torn earth To re-bury the unearthed little p people's dead, To restore damaged aquifers, To "replace" trees and grasses "just as before," Never mind the pipelines, The concrete roadways, The railroads, And the power lines....
Eminent Domain... Rhymes with Capitalist Gain,Β Β And little p people's pain....
