Surfers and Freighters





Aloha poets,
     Surfers and freighters inspire today. Enjoy!


Shunned as Slummed


To develop the distress as a prosperity gain
A diet of diversity may ease the arriving pain
Do I have a witness to the end of 'mom and pop'?
As demographics and digital have planes to hop


Success enables, so they say, it's still true
As food and football still cover the wild blue
Entity tracks lead to the one who holds title
The elderly pack their duffles and rifles


Succession companies form a line out there
While the aged exercise a little, then go for a beer
More acquisitions keep knocking at their fusty door
As disclosure and development keep asking for more


Defunct households of the old defiant range
Family out of fashion hones to the strange
Hilltops near highways now new mobile towers
Holding hostage the seekers on phones for hours


To apply for consideration is to just simply ask
To comply with desolation is a much harder task
Is growth so sensitive, its hostage and heart attack?
Shunned as slummed, 'mom and pop'  comes back
