Poetic Verses
Change Over Time
As always time bring with it many changes
Which can open the eyes to many circumstances
As one period you are sitting high with some perceived authority
Then after that you are relegated to one of dependency.
This lesson I hope was learnt by many after a hurricane
Whose passage and aftermath, really inflicted some pain
One moment people felt safe and secure in their house
Next were scrambling for any hole, like a mouse
The devastation reduce the available number of rooms
This cause the landlord to act like a vulture as it looms
They readily preyed on those incumbent and displaced tenants
Using this opportunity, to offer them some inflated rents.
It was amazing how this greed spread like an epidemic
Their current tenants, could not believe with what they were hit
Because they were evited most uncerimoniously, if they resent
The fact that they were not going to, or could not pay the new rent.
Those who accepted and paid, questioned why they should condone
Paying such rent when they could have easily invested in a home
So some did make to them this positive statement
That later, they will rather pay such in a house's investment.
Well time again has taught some now a good lession
Very much re-enforced by no other than this recession
It is not a good sight to see, the for sale signs and the number of rentals
The picture painted in all this, looks very gloomy and dismal.
Imagine now the same people have to make a round about turn
Now trying to woo prospective tenants, with some attractive terms
Like the occasional free month, a maid service and all utilites
But in some cases very few have be attracted by these incentives.
They are the same ones now complaining, saying things tight
But have quite forgotten, when they were the ones having the might
Even though they have reduced the rent, even much lower
Propective tenants, seem not to be looking in their corner.
Well i believe that they now see what greed and ignorance
Over time will not bear any fruit, or any great substance.
Because when one takes advantage of people in an adversity
Those rewards seem somehow to disappear quite quickly.
