Developer's Hungry Greed Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

The best things in life are free, but not for long,
because government officials and politicians are
allowing developers to steal nature, putting high
prices on what rightfully belongs to everyone.

Building so-called homes on public land, taking
away our pristine environment and claiming they're
doing it for the good of the people.

Taking away nature, beauty, solace and serenity of
our beautiful desert state, leaves us nothing but
smog and ugly buildings standing uggily in the way
of once fantastic views and scenery.

Poverty is placed on everyone, left with nowhere to
go for peace and quiet of nature's abode.

A once beautiful desert state ruined by developer's
greed for money and power.

Yet, developers have homes and land roped off for
their private pleasures so they can still enjoy
nature's vision and peace.
