Someone finally bought the corner lot
Right next to the movie theatre
And everyone hoped it would bring a promise,
Something the locals could appreciate.
But when the Porsches pulled up,
And built up
That little corner lot,
That I could view quite clearly from the window of my dad's office,
The view of the water was blocked.
It was only for the wealthy
Who may have booked a room.
That corner lot should have been for everyone.

OoOh solid poem. You told such a grand story in such few lines, what a skill. I'd love to hear to spoken :)
