EMINENT DOMAIN PAIN
Fight the pain
Defeat the strain
Rally all together
Destroy eminent domain.
Monster on the street
Grabs any home to eat,
Greedy rape the snakes repeat;
Meet them in the courts
Families matter more than sports;
Meet them with our maps
Expose their power traps.
Brave neighbors to the front,
Block the vicious Ratner stunt,
Clean air he robs
For invisible jobs;
Yield not to dirty dollar temptation,
Stand strong as a great generation,
Be priceless diamonds for our nation.
Fight eminent domain
Unjust strain
A civic stain
Eminent domain is
Democracy slain!
RAP poem in honor of the courageous citizens
fighting for their homes and neighborhoods.
