This post-civil-war-torn-town
|
||||
Gave refuge
|
||||
To the shackled and bound.
|
||||
|
||||
This town's river bubbled
|
||||
With hope from beneath
|
||||
To attract the outcast
|
||||
And mask the town's deceit.
|
||||
|
||||
Traffic soon birthed
|
||||
To industrial sound.
|
||||
|
||||
Its booming business
|
||||
Broke the backs
|
||||
Of the beaten down.
|
||||
|
||||
Jim Crow rose
|
||||
To further ostracize
|
||||
And whiteout the spots
|
||||
Missed by redlines.
|
||||
|
||||
This town's river bubbled
|
||||
With sewage from beneath.
|
||||
Today's gentrified waters
|
||||
Taste just as bittersweet.
