In hope sputtered moribund controversy,
Abandoned homes stood lifeless
To starve pay from forgotten neighbors
And empty minds with vanished literacy
Greedily seized to mock survival.
Bunched limbs shouted over long tracked arrival
Unprepared & unrecruited but settled in purpose
With sweat & will for freedoms labors
Stretched too far along to contest vacancy
Posted as allure to settle gentry.
