fell's point

[constantine]

they can buy the point
but they don't own it
can you buy the wind
can you purchase the sea
these noble streets
of douglass and poe
sailors, tradesmen, immigrants
brick upon brick
cobblestones laid
the muscle and
sweat of ages past
rebels and rails
against your monied ways

Whoa, this smacked me in the brain...this is right on.
The brevity is good, makes it terse and sharpens the profoundness.

the reality of gentrification....and you are so right, the history of
working people is not for sale, no condo can erase the ghosts
of class struggle.......
